On May 13, 2023, Trilateral
Cooperation Secretariat (TCS) Secretary-General OU Boqian attended the Asia
Liquor Festival hosted by the Asia Leaders Club (ALC) and the East Asia Culture
Center (EACC). Counsellor SHEN Xiaogang of the Chinese Embassy in Korea and
Minister CHUZO Kazuo of the Japan Public Information and Cultural Center in
Korea also attend the event, together with 200 participants including
representatives from Volunteer Korea, media, artists and celebrities in Korea.
The event was held with the
purpose of experiencing a sense of common East Asian culture by tasting and
comparing the liquor in the three countries; Chinese “Baijiu”, Japanese “Sake”,
and Korean “Soju”.
SG OU Boqian expressed her
gratitude toward President ROH of EACC for joining the “Culture City of East
Asia” Media and Internet Celebrities Tour held by the TCS in late April. She
highlighted that the “liquor” was also one of the many shared cultures the
participants have enjoyed during the tour, and again congratulated the hosting
of the Asia Liquor Festival with a Chinese saying —“酒逢知己千杯少”— meaning,
“Drinking a thousand cups is not too much with a close friend”.
The
opening ceremony was followed by quizzes related to the three countries, music
performances, and raffles. The walls were decorated with art crafts by artists
of the three countries along with TCS’s photo exhibition for the “Culture City
of East Asia” Media and Internet Celebrities Tour.
