Around 8 p.m. on June 2, a delegation of diplomats from 37 countries took a night cruise on the Pearl River to enjoy the illuminated skyline of Guangzhou. 

As the boat approached the Canton Tower, the visitors' attention was drawn to the iconic landmark. At that moment, a public service message began scrolling on the tower's display screens, reading: "启航‘十五五’：中国发展与全球机遇（广东行）Set Sail for the 15th Five-Year Plan: China's Growth, World's Opportunity (Guangdong)" and "广州欢迎您 Welcome to Guangzhou."

Co-hosted by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the People's Government of Guangdong Province, the "Set Sail for the 15th Five-Year Plan: China's Growth, World's Opportunity (Guangdong)" event brought together 60 diplomats from 37 countries to explore Guangdong. 

The delegation will visit key Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao cooperation platforms, major infrastructure projects that enhance connectivity within the Greater Bay Area, Guangdong's competitive industries and innovation ecosystem, as well as demonstration villages under the "High-quality Development Project for Guangdong Counties, Towns and Villages." 

Through these visits, they will witness the new achievements of Chinese modernization in Guangdong.
