More important details were disclosed in the detailed speech delivered by Qing Rimak at the departure reception on August 7th on the official website of the China Embassy in the Czech Republic.
Ma Keqing said at the farewell reception: "I have held numerous receptions with different themes in this hall. Standing here for the last time today is to bid farewell to everyone and to my diplomatic career. "
She said, "The Czech Republic is the last stop of my diplomatic career, and the end is always the most impressive. The four-and-a-half-year term in the Czech Republic was tense, pleasant and fulfilling. Kundera wrote in his works,' Meeting is a beginning, and leaving is to welcome the next one'. This is not the normal state of our life as diplomats. "
According to the official news, Ma Keqing, who has been engaged in diplomatic work for 42 years, is about to step down as China's ambassador to the Czech Republic and formally bid farewell to his diplomatic career.
According to previous public reports, Ma Keqing, aged 2 1976, officially entered the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and successively served as Counsellor of the Embassy of China in Finland, Counsellor and Deputy Director of the Western European Department of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and Deputy Director of the European Department of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
In 2006, Ma Keqing became China's ambassador to Finland. Three years later, he returned to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and served as the executive deputy secretary of the Party Committee of the government. 20 12 during the confrontation between China and the Philippines on huangyan island, Ma Keqing assumed the new post of ambassador of China to the Philippines. Upon successful completion of the work, 20 14 moved to Eastern Europe to serve as China's ambassador to the Czech Republic.
The article "Flexible Ma Keqing" published in People's Digest No.7, No.2012, said that Ma Keqing was facing a tough battle after more than two months as China's ambassador to the Philippines. The confrontation between China and the Philippines on Huangyan Island has made this little-exposed female ambassador one of the core figures in the diplomatic negotiations between China and the Philippines.
Besides Ma Keqing, there are two other women who have handled the crisis. One is Fu Ying, then Vice Foreign Minister and the first female ambassador to the Philippines, and the other is Tong Xiaoling, then China's ambassador to ASEAN. Since the Huangyan Island dispute broke out, these three female diplomats have been at the forefront of diplomacy.
The article said, "The real challenge is the continuous fermentation of the confrontation between China and the Philippines on Huangyan Island, which severely tests the diplomatic ability of this female ambassador. In this month-long confrontation, Ma Keqing did not say anything publicly, but in fact, she and the Philippine side have been negotiating privately. "
"It is China's diplomatic style to combine rigidity with softness and hide the needle in the cotton. Even if you shout again, there is no support behind you and you can't cash it. Our statement is implicit, but the meaning brought out in the words will be felt by the other party. " For some people who think that China's diplomacy is too soft, Ma Keqing once replied, "As a diplomat, sometimes you need to work in a roundabout way, but the most important purpose is absolutely to safeguard the interests of the country and the people."
