"It is a splendid night. We are honored to invite the artists from Hangzhou, the capital of the Zhejiang province of China. So today we are seeing the numerous audience from Croatia to enjoy the performance given by the Chinese artists. So we find the hall full of audience, there are no empty seats. This demonstrates how strongly Croatian people are interested in knowing about China. And also I believe that this evening's performance not only demonstrates exchange of culture, but also the opportunity to strengthen our relations, our friendship with Croatia."
