ETTU Secretary General KASS Attends Reception Celebrating 50 Years of China–EU Diplomatic Relations

On the occasion of the 50th anniversary of diplomatic relations between China and the European Union, ETTU Secretary General Pierre KASS was honored to attend a special reception hosted at the Embassy of the People’s Republic of China in Brussels.

Organized by H.E. Mr. CAI Run, Head of Mission and Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary of the People’s Republic of China to the EU, the reception brought together representatives from sport, diplomacy, and international organizations to mark five decades of China–EU partnership.

As part of the evening’s programme, a China–EU Friendship Table Tennis Game was held — a symbolic nod to the historic role of table tennis in international relations. The game reflected the continued importance of sport as a bridge between cultures and nations.

Among the distinguished guests were Minister ZHU Jing, Belgian Olympic and Interfederal Committee President Jean-Michel SAIVE, Philippe SAIVE, Belgian Table Tennis Federation President Jean-Michel MUREAU, and ETTU Ambassador for China Xialian NI.

“It was a great honour to represent the European Table Tennis Union at this event celebrating dialogue, cooperation, and friendship,” said KASS. “The evening highlighted once again how sport – and especially table tennis – continues to connect people beyond borders.”

The ETTU expresses its appreciation to Ambassador H.E. CAI Run and the Chinese Embassy for the warm invitation and hospitality.
