Dr. Ursula Plassnik, Austrian Federal Minister for European and International Affairs (2008)

As the Federal Minister for European and International Affairs of the Republic of Austria, the connection between people and intercultural exchange is an important concern for me. It pleases me that the “Shen Yun Chinese Spectacular” can be seen for the first time in Austria, especially in the European year of intercultural dialog. I wish the organizers and the artists, who give us a close look to the rich Chinese culture in all of its variations, a great success. I also wish a fascinating cultural experience to all the visitors.
