“I will follow in the footsteps of my predecessors, previous Chinese ambassadors, and work towards building an even closer partnership with the Namibia Table Tennis Association. Let’s work together to make this table tennis friendship cup an annual event,” said Zhao.
The ambassador said sport knows no borders and plays an important role in promoting friendship among nations.
“The Chinese embassy will do more to facilitate sports exchanges between the two countries, and we are very proud of sponsoring today’s tennis games,” Zhao stated.
