August 10, Mr.Cheng Hongbo, Acting Consul General of P.R.China in Toronto, attended the opening ceremony of Canada New Immigrants Support Center and delivered a speech. More than 150 guests, including representatives of Canadian government and Chinese community were in attendance.

In his speech, Acting Consul General Cheng recognized the efforts and positive results made by Canadian Aixin Charity Foundation and other overseas Chinese organizations over the years in uniting the overseas Chinese community, supporting education and health care in China and the consular district, serving local social development, and promoting the economic, trade and cultural exchanges between China and Canada.
