Tea isn’t just a drink—it’s a universal language. Diplomats from six nations in China recently proved this by raising their cups for 'UniTea: Macao Tea Melody', a vibrant cultural event celebrating the 25th anniversary of Macao's return to China. Representing Argentina, Türkiye, Morocco, Georgia, Sri Lanka, and Uruguay, the envoys shared heartfelt messages during CGTN’s special program, blending diplomacy with a love for tradition.
Brewing Global Bonds
The diplomats highlighted Macao’s unique role as a cultural bridge, where East meets West and history mingles with modernity. From sipping aromatic blends to applauding traditional dance performances, the event showcased how tea—a symbol of harmony—unites nations. One envoy joked, 'If tea can resolve differences, maybe we should serve it at the UN!'
A Steeped Legacy
Since Macao’s return to China in 1999, the region has thrived as a hub of cultural fusion. The 'UniTea' festivities, featuring performances by local artists and international guests, underscored its global connections. As one diplomat put it, 'Macao’s story is a reminder that shared traditions can brew peace—one cup at a time.'
