It is a time for families to be together and also has very deep historical significance. 2026 marks the 55th anniversary of the establishment of bilateral diplomatic relations between T\u00fcrkiye and the People&#8217;s Republic of China (PRC). Therefore, T\u00fcrkiye has granted visa-free travel rights to Chinese citizens.\u201d Ambassador \u00dcnal, noting that T\u00fcrkiye grants visa-free travel rights to Chinese citizens, recommended that they visit Cappadocia. \u00dcnal continued his message as follows: \u201cI have many recommendations for our Chinese friends, such as Cappadocia, a popular destination for Chinese tourists. As I mentioned earlier, this is the 55th anniversary of bilateral relations, and therefore, as the Year of the Horse represents a progressive and successful year, I wish for bilateral relations to be successful this year as well. I also wish all our Chinese friends a good year, health and success, and more visits to T\u00fcrkiye.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Source:<\/strong> Turkish Embassy in Beijing<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>T\u00fcrkiye&#8217;s Ambassador to Beijing, Sel\u00e7uk \u00dcnal, conveyed his Chinse New Year&#8217;s wishes to Chinese people in an interview<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6,10,13,54],"tags":[47,24,16,223,21,224,46,22],"class_list":["post-582","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-china-news","category-news","category-turkey-china-relations","category-turkiye","tag-ambassador","tag-beijing","tag-china","tag-chinese-new-year","tag-news","tag-spring-festival","tag-turkish-chinese-relations","tag-turkiye"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/thesilknews.com\/en\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/582","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/thesilknews.com\/en\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/thesilknews.com\/en\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/thesilknews.com\/en\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/thesilknews.com\/en\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=582"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/thesilknews.com\/en\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/582\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":596,"href":"https:\/\/thesilknews.com\/en\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/582\/revisions\/596"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/thesilknews.com\/en\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=582"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/thesilknews.com\/en\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=582"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/thesilknews.com\/en\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=582"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
