ABOUT
US
The Gibraltar Chinese Association is a non-profit organization that was registered with the Gibraltar Ministry of Culture in October 2015. We strive to play an active role in relations between Gibraltar and China, fostering understanding and friendship between our nations. We believe sharing cultural experiences is both enjoyable and informative and results in a better understanding between peoples. Accordingly, we organize events in Gibraltar during the year which reflect important festivals in the Chinese calendar, such as Chinese New Year, the Lantern Festival and the Mid-Autumn Festival. We believe cultural exchange brings people together and enriches life, and can open doors to new ideas, friendships and opportunities. Such opportunities include trade, and we can act as a bridge in respect of trade between Gibraltar and China.
Reflecting the links of Gibraltar with the United Kingdom, our association has sought and received strong support from the Chinese embassy in the UK. Our association also seeks close relations with Chinese communities close to Gibraltar, and in this regard maintains contacts with leaders of Chinese associations within Europe.
