KUALA LUMPUR (September 2017): The Globe Trotters troupe is a first ever self-sponsored non-governmental outfit comprising an entourage of 50 distinguished artists, social activists, orators and entrepreneurs from China , who serve as messengers for fostering peace and understanding through cultural interaction. It is a non-profit oriented globe-trotting initiative borne in response to the China Dream call.

It made its debut visit in June 2014 with the United States as its inaugural destination, covering such cities as Los Angeles, New York, Washington DC and Boston. Six sessions of public lecture delivery had consecutively been conducted at Harvard University, University of California, War Memorial of Vietnam Conflict and the foyer of the United Nations.

In May 2015, the troupe further set foot on the United Kingdom, France, Italy, Switzerland and Vatican. Its cultural interaction and public lectures had separately been presented in such renowned universities as Cambridge and Oxford in the United Kingdom.

The following year witnessed a momentous season of visit to Russia in May. New Siberia, Moscow and St. Petersburg marked the key destinations of the year with landmark activities conducted in universities at Moscow and St. Petersburg.

The myriad activities that had been well prepared to fill the agenda for the visitations include elements of history, culture, music, art and calligraphy, mannerisms, healthcare and tea art that constitute part of the wide spectrum of Chinese Culture.

The troupe consists of distinguished and knowledgeable orators from 24 provinces on Mainland China as well as the Special Administrative Regions of Hong Kong and Macau. Their exemplary oratory presentation had been attracting public eyeballs in addition to drawing commendable regards from numerous local and China-based media. More than 100 media, both overseas and domestic, including the state-owned China People's Broadcasting Corporation, had been granting the gamut of activities with generous coverage.

Now that 2017 is earmarked as the Year For Visiting ASEAN, The Globe Trotters troupe has debuted in four ASEAN member states, hitting the trans-borders with simultaneous roadshows in Malaysia, Indonesia, Thailand and Cambodia, with an added dimension of economics for mutual-interaction. Local Non-Governmental Organisations (NGOs), Guilds and Associations, entrepreneurs and community leaders constituted the main bulk of invitees to the dinner performances. Contents of the activities would centre around the heritage of Chinese cultures and good neighbourliness in the region, devoid of such sensitivities as race and religion.
