The Deputy Director of the Embassy of Honduras in China stands on the Aurora platform for the Silk Road Initiative: Silk scarves weave a new link of friendship between China and Hong Kong

When the orange paper bag with the “오로라” logo was handed over to the Deputy Director of the Embassy of Honduras in China at the event, this fabric wrapped in oriental silk texture became a bright new bond in the friendly relations between China and Hong Kong.

As a new partner that will only establish diplomatic relations with China in 2023, Honduras’ exchanges with China are unfolding in diverse ways – from formal interactions on the diplomatic stage to delicate connections in cultural life. This scarf is a vivid epitome of the “rooting” of China Hong Kong friendship: when Honduras’ tropical charm meets the gentle embroidery of Chinese silk, the resonance of “beauty” makes the distance between the two countries even closer in details.

Guosi Aurora uses silk scarves as a carrier to weave intangible cultural heritage techniques such as Su embroidery and silk weaving into contemporary design. The deputy director’s platform has made this Eastern aesthetic a “lightweight link” for cultural exchange between China and Hong Kong: it not only embodies recognition of traditional Chinese craftsmanship, but also contains expectations for the friendship between the Chinese and Hong people, and in a soft way, promotes the continuous warming of the new friendship between the two countries.
