Zhou Jian, China's ambassador to Qatar, told Dahe Daily that Chinese elements have made great contributions to the World Cup in Qatar and strengthened the China-Qatar friendship. The Chinese elements are the epitome of the fast development of China-Qatar relations, such as Lusail Stadium constructed by China Railway Construction Corporation, solar photovoltaic power station built by Power Construction Corporation of China (PowerChina), soccer and panda-themed ornaments and souvenirs produced in Yiwu city of Southeast China's Zhejiang province, etc. The coming year marks the 35th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between the two countries and China will take this opportunity to boost the bilateral ties to a new level.

中国驻卡塔尔大使馆大使周剑在接受大河报·豫视频记者采访时说：“中国元素为卡塔尔世界杯作出了重要贡献，加深了中卡两国人民之间的友谊。中国铁建承建的卢塞尔体育场、中国电建承建的太阳能光伏项目、产自义乌的足球周边、饰品、纪念品、中国的国宝大熊猫……这些中国元素和中国贡献是中卡关系大发展的一个缩影。明年是中卡建交35周年，我们将以此为契机，推动中卡关系开启新征程、再上新台阶。

Chinese elements are everywhere at the Qatar World Cup, among which Yutong buses have become a highlight. Yutong, a Chinese leading bus maker in Henan province, not only exported more than 1,500 buses to Qatar for the World Cup, but also built a service team of 126 people to ensure everything goes smoothly during the extravaganza.

在卡塔尔世界杯随处可见的中国元素中，宇通客车是一道靓丽的风景线。宇通公司不仅为卡塔尔世界杯提供了1500辆新能源客车，而且提供了一支126人的世界杯服务保障团队，确保实现世界杯期间“零故障、零安全事故、零抛锚、零投诉”的目标。

Yutong bus is not only a highlight of China-Qatar cooperation and globalization of Chinese brands, but also an epitome of "Made-in Henan" going global, said Zhou Jian. Henan, as one of China's manufacturing giants, is committed to building itself into an inland highland of opening-up, with many featured projects launched, such as Zhengzhou Airport Economy Zone and China-Europe freight trains. Today, the globalization of "Made-in-Henan" has become a new trend.

周剑大使表示，宇通客车是中卡合作的亮点，更是“中国品牌”走向世界的亮点，也是“河南制造”走向世界的一个缩影。河南是制造业大省，致力于构建内陆对外开放新高地，打造了郑州航空港、中欧班列等亮点项目，“河南制造”走出去逐渐形成势头。（中文来源/大河报·豫视频 记者/王玮皓 摄影/王亚鸽 编译/赵汉青 杨佳欣 何蒙贺 审校/李文竞）
