On April 2, Boao Forum for Asia Annual Conference 2012 officially opened in Hainan. According to the Secretariat of Boao Forum, three pieces of colored glaze crafts produced by Ningbo Qianyu Glaze Co. Ltd. have been selected as national gifts to the visiting foreign leaders. The Ningbo company is the only one whose products have been selected as national gifts for five straight years.
Based on the forum's theme "Asia in the Changing World: Moving toward Sound and Sustainable Development.", the leading staff in the company held several talks with the organizing Committee of Boao Forum. They finally decided to use the images of "Ding" (a traditional Chinese sacrificial vessel), dragon, and carp, which symbolize the bright future of the Asian countries under the global background of political and economic changes. Wu Jun, the Executive Director of the Secretariat of Boao Forum, spoke highly of these colored glaze works, saying they are a combination of traditional Chinese culture and international elements.
