On March 19, 2023, H.E. Mr. Yao Wen, Ambassador of China to Bangladesh, met with Alifa Chin (“China” in Bengali), who was born on China’s naval hospital ship Peace Ark in 2010.

Ambassador Yao had a cordial talk with Chin and her family. He reminisced about Chin’s strong bond with China, and asked about the schoolwork and life of the little girl and her younger brother. He encouraged Chin to study hard and to continue being an ambassador for the amicable relations between China and Bangladesh.

Chin thanked the Peace Ark for its indispensable help in giving her life, and appreciated the Chinese Embassy for its consistent support to herself and her family. She recalled the visit to China in 2019, when she met her “Chinese Mother” Dr. Sheng Ruifang. “I love China, and I want to study in China in the future”, said Chin.

Ambassador Yao promised with pleasure to help Chin realize her dream, and gave Chin and her family stationary and living necessities as gifts.
