A MESSAGE from
CONSUL GENERAL WU XIA00A
Dear Compatriots ,
I would like to take this opportunity to ex-
tend our cordial and sincere greetings to our compa-
triots in this area.
The Consulate-General of the People's Republic
of China in Houston has officially opened. This is
indeed a happy event to our compatriots, and it re-
presents yet another new achievement of the develop-
ment of consular relations between China and the
United States. Our Consulate-General in Houston is
the first such Consulate-General China has opened
after the establishment of diplomatic relations be-
tween the two countries. The opening of our Consu-
late-General will not only encourage the oversea
Chinese residing here, together with the local Amer-
ican people, to make continued contributions to the
U. S. Society and strengthen their mutual understand-
ing and friendship, but also help safeguard the just
rights and interests of our compatriots, and promote
the unity and mutual help among them.
There are many oversea Chinese in Houston and its
neighbouring areas. No matter where they come from,
they are generations of the same ancestor. They have
lived and worked in amity with the American people for
many years. They are the fine sons and daughters of
the Chinese nation. From now on, our Consulate-
General will come into extensive contacts with our
compatriots of various circles and try our best to
serve them actively. We hope that our compatriots
will continue to live in amity with the American people,
abide by the laws of the country in which they reside
and make further efforts to develop the friendship be-
tween the Chinese and American peoples. We also, hope
that our compatriots have the motherland at heart and
make active contributions to the great cause of re-
turning Taiwan to the embrace of the motherland and
reunifying the motherland and to the motherland's con-
struction for the four modernizations.
Though we are here only a few days, we have deep-
ly felt the deep love and concern of our compatriots
for the motherland. Once again, I would like to express
our sincere thanks to those compatriots who have assis-
ted and supported us with the opening of the Consulate-
General .
In conclusion, we wish you good health and every
success.
NACA HOSTS WELCOME RECEPTION
Since their arrival to Houston in early November,
Consul-General Wu Xiaoda of the People's Republic of China
and his staff have been honored and welcomed at receptions
hosted by many groups, including banking and business con-
cerns, the Houston Chinese community, and cultural groups.
The first occasion for the Consul-General and his
staff to be introduced to members of the Chinese community
was a welcoming reception hosted by the National Associa-
tion of Chinese Americans (NACA) and the U.S.-China Peo-
ple's Friendship Association (USCPFA) at Autry House on
November 9th.
Over 100 persons gathered to meet the new staff.
Susan Spruce of USCPFA and Jimmy Lee of NACA presented Con-
sul-General Wu with momentos of his arrival in Houston.
Bill Der Bing, chief of protocol at NASA presented a pic-
ture of the space shuttle and announced a planned joint
shuttle with the PRC in 1983.
Consul General Wu expressed his thanks and toasted the
gathering with the hope that "we continue to make joint
efforts for friendship between our peoples from generation
to generation."
