DUBAI - The Chinese Consul-General to the UAE, Li Xuhang, has revealed that Expo City Dubai will host the "Happy Chinese New Year" Grand Parade on 14th January, coinciding with the approaching Chinese New Year, which falls on 22nd January.

During a press conference held at Expo City on Thursday, Xuhang said, "The 2023 'Happy Chinese New Year' Grand Parade will be a great opportunity for the revival of cultural and people-to-people exchanges between China and the UAE," adding that a vast majority of overseas Chinese in Dubai are looking forward to the return of grand parade, which has been interrupted for two years due to the pandemic.

"The Dubai Happy Chinese New Year Grand Parade has become the grandest event to celebrate the Chinese New Year for overseas Chinese and has been hailed by China's Ministry of Culture and Tourism as the most influential brand of overseas Chinese New Year celebrations," he noted.

These grand parades, he said, have received significant attention and support from the UAE and have become a famous brand for cultural exchanges between China and the UAE. "Our grand parade has been well received by over 300,000 Chinese expatriates."
