Long friendship between the two peoples

Christian Estrosi spoke of the history of both countries: “On January 27, 1964, France was the first Western power, member of the UN Security Council, to recognize the People’s Republic of China, a visionary gesture of General de Gaulle. 50 years later, your country is the world’s largest economy in terms of purchasing power, ahead of the United States, according to figures from FMI. Nice has played its full part in the dialogue developed over half -century between China and France.”

The longest human phrase

The Tiens Group will have registered in the Guinness Book the world record for the largest phrase ever made by human visible from the air, made possible with all the participants of the Convention and the assistance of Nice people that will help to draw on the Promenade des Anglais each letter of this beautiful message: “Tiens’Dream is Nice in the Côte d’Azur.”

Ambassadors of Nice

Christian Estrosi said: “I am particularly glad that the Tiens Group has chosen Nice for its convention. I’m sure the thousands of participants in the rally have been seduced and will turn into ambassadors of our city once back home. The Deputy Mayor finally invited the Chinese to participate in the European Masters Games to be held next October and will bring together over 10,000 athletes from all countries.
