On September 1, 2025, the British Association of Northwestern Chinese celebrated the twenty-third anniversary of its founding in Rochdale Town Hall. The guests gathered with Chinese compatriots to witness this remarkable milestone.

The celebration opened in a warm and solemn atmosphere. The crowd was filled with people, with a good atmosphere, and there was a great deal of solidarity and joy. In the anniversary, we looked back at the development of the past 23 years.

As a non-profit organization, the British Northwest Chinese Association has achieved significant results over the past 23 years, with the combined efforts of successive teams and volunteers, including:

1. To facilitate the formation of a friendly city between Nanning City and Knowsley and to build bridges of friendship;
2. The establishment of the Assistance Fund in the aftermath of the Mocm Bay tragedy to demonstrate the unity and strength of the Chinese community;
Building the activities of the “China Cultural Festival” and the “Chinese-English Youth Forum” to promote cultural exchanges;
4. Promote Chinese medicine lectures, Chinese horns into British communities and schools to give root to Chinese culture in the United Kingdom.


The Association plays an important and unique role as a bridge between serving the diaspora, organizing cultural events, and promoting communication and cooperation between the Chinese and British communities.

The event featured a great number of performances, demonstrating the deep roots of Chinese culture and the dynamism of the Chinese community. The festivals were staged with a series of dances, music, and so forth, with a lot of applause and laughter, bringing each other closer together and a much stronger holiday atmosphere.

At this ceremony, guests from all sides of the Chinese and British worlds gathered. The leaders of the Association, such as President Seo and President Li Qitai, took the floor and extended a warm welcome to the guests, expressing their deep appreciation for the long-standing support and love of all sectors of society and their vision for the future of the Association.

On the new historical nodes, the British Northwestern Chinese Association will continue to work to serve the Chinese community to further strengthen solidarity, expand communication platforms, and enhance overall influence and cohesion.

Looking ahead, the Association will become more open and active in integrating into the local community, and will continue to work to promote Chinese-English cultural exchanges, economic and trade cooperation, and public-interest development. It is confident that, with the common support of all communities, the British Association of Northwestern Chinese will continue to write new and wonderful chapters that will contribute more to the development of Chinese-Chinese communities and friendly exchanges with the Chinese-British community.
