She made the remarks during her meeting with Indonesian first lady Iriana Joko
Widodo on Wednesday afternoon.
Peng spoke highly of Iriana's enthusiasm for public welfare and briefed her
about China's active policies and achievements in the treatment and prevention
of tuberculosis (TB) and HIV/AIDS.
Peng has been serving as the World Health Organization (WHO)'s goodwill
ambassador for TB and HIV/AIDS since June 2011. She has long been advocating
global efforts in fighting against the diseases. Addressing a video conference
for the World TB Day 2022 organized by the WHO on March 24, she recounted her
experiences of visiting a number of medical facilities, schools and communities
since joining the anti-TB endeavor over a decade ago.
At the opening ceremony of a special high-level event on the sidelines of the
United Nations High-Level Meeting on AIDS in June 2021, she called on people
from all walks of life in all countries to join hands and take action to
strengthen the prevention and treatment of AIDS and TB, in order to benefit all
mankind and build a global community of health for all.
During Wednesday's event, students at the Tourism Confucius Institute of
Indonesia's Udayana University in Bali, dressed in folk costumes, sang the
Indonesian song "Bengawan Solo" in Chinese.
Peng praised the students for their singing and also thanked the accompanying
musicians. Some of the students shouted affectionately "Hello, Peng Mama!" and
she responded happily.
She asked the students about their study and life, encouraged them to continue
working hard to learn Chinese, and welcomed more Indonesian youths to visit
China, learn about the Chinese culture and become envoys of China-Indonesia
cooperation.
Accompanied by Iriana, Peng also watched a performance of Indonesian
traditional culture and art as well as a craft products exhibition.
Local girls, dressed in festive costumes, performed Bali's traditional "Pendet
Dance" to welcome her. Peng chatted with them cordially and hailed the handmade
silk fabrics with Bali characteristics as exquisite.
Peng and Iriana also had tea, chatted about family life and enjoyed music.
