The permanent completion of this tribute, commemorating the 60th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between China and France and blessing the Paris Olympics, at the Château de Catara vividly showcases the shared journey and cooperation between the two countries, interpreting the noble ideals of "peace, friendship, progress" in the Olympic movement. The simultaneous launch of the "Olympic Peace Park" also adds a new venue for experiencing the Olympic spirit and enhancing dialogue and exchange in the city that marked the beginning of modern Olympic sports. It is hoped that people from all walks of life in China and France will continue to use the Olympics as a bond to promote exchanges and dialogue between different civilizations, foster mutual understanding and respect among peoples of all countries, jointly write a more brilliant chapter for the Olympic movement, and contribute new and greater strength to the construction of a community with a shared future for humanity!

Chinese Ambassador to France, Luo Shaye, stated in his speech that culture and sports are vital components and connectors of human exchanges, bridging distances between people, fostering mutual understanding, and laying a solid foundation for friendly relations between nations. The sculpture "United in the Same Boat" conveys the ideals of unity, peace, and friendship through the combination of sports and culture, expressing the pursuit of the Olympic spirit by China and France and their hopes for world peace. We look forward to this "Sino-French Friendship Boat" becoming one of the new landmarks in Grand Nouvaise City, continuously showcasing the vitality and dynamism of Sino-French friendly relations.

The Chief Cultural Officer of the French National Olympic Committee, Stéphane Hatto, expressed that the large-scale Paris Olympics commemorative sculpture "United in the Same Boat" vividly embodies the three core values of the Olympics: excellence, respect, and friendship. This year marks the 60th anniversary of diplomatic relations between France and China, and such an artwork serves as a representative celebration of this great friendship, showcasing both countries as advocates and promoters of the Olympic spirit, harmonizing the symphony of friendship.

Mayor Brigitte Massini of Grand Nouvaise City stated in her address that the magnificent sculpture "United in the Same Boat" serves as a bridge between different cultures, symbolizing the shared aspirations of people from different nations for world peace. As the Mayor of Grand Nouvaise City, she is honored to welcome this sculpture permanently to the Château de Catara. It constitutes an integral part of the Olympic heritage passed down from the Paris Olympics because art possesses the power to transcend borders and touch hearts.

The large-scale Paris Olympics commemorative sculpture "United in the Same Boat" was created by Huang Jian, an Olympic art ambassador of the International Olympic Committee and a renowned Chinese sculptor. The peace dragon boat for the Olympics bears cultural totems of both China and France: the Chinese dragon and the Gallic rooster. This vessel symbolizing Sino-French friendship and the Olympic spirit signifies the joint efforts of both countries to promote exchanges and dialogue between different civilizations using the Paris Olympics as a catalyst, transmitting the voice of peace of the Paris Olympics. On May 6th this year, the "From Beijing to Paris - Chinese and French Artists Olympic Journey" Chinese art exhibition opened in Paris, and the China Central Radio and Television General Station officially donated this sculpture to the French National Olympic Committee.

With the completion of this sculpture in Grand Nouvaise City, France, it will undoubtedly become a new landmark in this city, adding unique cultural charm to the upcoming Paris Olympics and contributing significantly to the cultural exchange between China and France.
