Of late, the Chinese embassy in New Delhi has been organising interactiv­e seminars with strategic community and think tanks, and fun games and contests. Recently, the embassy organised a table tennis tournament for the diplomatic community. A Chinese diplomat said that the purpose was “simply to increase exchanges and friendship”. The first Friendship Table Tennis Tournament had eight participat­ing teams from the embassies of China, Bulgaria, Czech Republic, Indonesia, Kazakhstan, Russia, South Korea and Romania. Ambassador Luo Zhaohui now has an active Twitter presence at @China_Amb_India. Zhaohui wrote on Twitter: “My old friends, Ambassador­s of Czech, Indonesia, Kazakhstan and ROK (Republic of Korea) also join. Great to see you all! Thank you for kicking off the tournament together with me. Ambassador­s of Czech and Indonesia also play in the tournament.”Posting a video clip of him playing the game with the Czech envoy, Zhaohui tweeted: “Great fun to play with my friend, H.E. Ambassador Mr Milan Hovorka! Who do you think is a better player :).”
