　　Winter goes back to spring.

When the spring flowers bloom, Wuhan, Hubei ushered in the first anniversary of "unblocking".

In Beijing, thousands of miles away, a special "Spring Covenant" is also underway.

　　On the 12th, a special promotion event for Hubei by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs with the theme of "Heroic Hubei: Rebirth from Fire, Renewing Glory" was held in the Blue Hall of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of China.

Since March 2016, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of China has organized 21 global promotion events for various provinces, autonomous regions and municipalities. However, unlike the past, this promotion has one more keyword-"special".

On April 12, the Hubei Global Special Promotion Event of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of China was held in Beijing. State Councilor and Minister of Foreign Affairs Wang Yi attended the event and delivered a speech.

　　This special promotion stems from a special commitment.

At the press conference of the Foreign Ministers of the Two Sessions for two consecutive years, Chinese State Councilor and Foreign Minister Wang Yi solemnly promised that the Ministry of Foreign Affairs will hold a special global promotion event for Hubei.

　　Last year, the last question at the Foreign Minister’s press conference was obtained by the Hubei media. When Wang Yi answered “What kind of help will the Ministry of Foreign Affairs provide for Hubei’s development and opening up”, he said emotionally that when conditions are ripe, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs is willing to provide special support. Hubei held a special global promotion event to show the rebirth of the ashes and the rebirth of the phoenix in Hubei and Wuhan to the rest of the world, and also let the people of the world know Hubei better and support Wuhan.

　　After nearly a year, Hubei has once again become the last "Easter Egg" at the Foreign Minister's press conference.

At this year’s press conference, Wang Yi once again announced that the Ministry of Foreign Affairs will hold a special global promotion conference for Hubei in April this year when the spring is blooming, to show the world the new face of Hubei’s rebirth and help Hubei build a partnership with foreign countries. New bridge.

　　The special commitment also makes this promotion event special.

As Wang Yi said in his speech at the promotion conference, "Today's promotion conference is extremely unusual, because today's protagonist is a heroic province: Hubei, China; it is a heroic city: Wuhan, China."

　　This "Spring Covenant" is not only the second promotion of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs for the same province, but also the first promotion event of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs after the epidemic, which shows that it is "special".

For this reason, the promotion conference on that day became the largest and largest number of envoys and representatives attended by the Blue Hall of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. From this point, it may be seen that the outside world recognizes Hubei and Wuhan’s anti-epidemic achievements, as well as the various Fang's expectations for China's development prospects after the epidemic.

　　More importantly, under the background that the epidemic is still spreading globally, the special "Spring Covenant" has more global significance.

In the first quarter of 2020, Hubei's GDP, which was hit hard by the epidemic, fell by 39.2% year-on-year, and Wuhan's GDP fell by 40.5% year-on-year, reaching the bottom.

Hubei people who are "unsatisfied" with their own efforts have ushered in a strong recovery and economic acceleration. In 2020, Hubei's GDP will return to more than 95% of the previous year, and Wuhan's GDP will return to the top ten cities in the country.

　　Hubei, which has been honed and baptized by the epidemic, was reborn from the ashes and created a miracle of economic recovery with strong resilience.

The experience of Wuhan and Hubei will make more people believe that all parts of the world that have been hit by the epidemic will eventually restart like Wuhan, Hubei.

As the world is still shrouded in the shadow of the epidemic, the special promotion has brought a rare shine to the global fight against the epidemic.

　　In the past year or so, regardless of the fight against the epidemic or the recovery after the epidemic, Chinese diplomats have repeatedly spoken for Hubei, praised Wuhan, and spread the voices and stories of Hubei and Wuhan to the world.

As some commentators pointed out, in this "Spring Covenant", under the spotlight of the promotion meeting of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, people were proud of Wuhan and Hubei, and they also saw the preciousness of confidence in the revitalized Wuhan and the goodwill of exchanges. , I also see the sincerity of a city and a country to share experience with the world after defeating a disaster.
