On the morning of September 18, the “Admire the Full Moon • Pursue Dreams Together” Initiative of Boosting Overseas Chinese Contribution to Shantou’s High-quality Development and the 2023 Annual Members’ Conference of the Teochew International Federation were held in Shantou. More than 150 members from over 30 countries and regions and more than 300 guests as well attended the Conference. At the same time, the Conference launched the campaign of collecting the themes for the “Two Grand Conventions” (the 22th Teochew International Convention and the 10th World Chaoshan Entrepreneurs Convention in 2024), and also officially launched the online “Digital Virtual Chaoshan Homeland” platform.

The contents of the themes to be collected for the “Two Grand Conventions” should stay focused on the mission of Teochew International Federation – “enhance clan ties, promote cultural exchanges, develop industry and business relationships, and serve the community” – and the mission of World Chaoshan Entrepreneurs Convention – “exchange, cooperation, service, and development”, reflecting Chaoshan culture and the spirit of Shantou Special Economic Zone. The collection campaign will continue until October 30, and the collection results will be announced on the “Digital Virtual Chaoshan Homeland” in November. “Digital Virtual Chaoshan Homeland” is a one-stop “cloud-based” platform integrating with multiple functions such as presenting the allure of Chaoshan associations at home and abroad, promoting interactive communication among Chaoshan people, facilitating business and trade cooperation matchmaking, displaying the charm of the overseas Chinese hometown, and providing government services involving overseas Chinese. It will also serve as the official launch platform for the 22th Teochew International Convention and the 10th World Chaoshan Entrepreneurs Convention in 2024.Up to now, the platform has attracted 100 associations to join in.
