欧洲侨报 都柏林讯 记者 陈秋梅 Annie MacCarthy
2026年5月底,爱尔兰政府内阁重组,国家议员 Catherine Ardagh TD 获任司法部国务部长,主管国际法、法律改革与青年司法事务。这一任命既是她政治生涯的重要里程碑,也为爱尔兰多元文化社区、特别是华人族群注入了新的期待。

作为欧洲-中国文化艺术交流与合作研究会及中外国际家庭联谊会会长,我在第一时间向 Catherine Ardagh 部长致以最热烈的祝贺。回顾我们携手合作的历程,能与这样一位富有远见、务实担当的政要共同推动中爱文化艺术交流,我深感荣幸。
关键时刻的有力推动与绿色通道
在策划筹备首届中爱文化艺术节(Inaugural Ireland-China Cultural Arts Festival)的紧要关头,Catherine Ardagh 议员亲自参与并倾力相助。她不仅全程跟进项目进展,在政府高层间为我们积极沟通协调,还亲自向爱尔兰文化部提交了官方引荐信,为该项目开辟了高效的"绿色通道",从而推动提案正式建档立案(备案号:Ref: CCS-MO-01556-2026)。

尤为难得的是,在她宣誓就职、内阁交接工作极为繁重的关键节点,仍点对点为我提供指导,协助建立起内部沟通渠道。正是因为有了她的实质性帮助,我们的文化艺术节提案才得以顺利立案落地。这份深厚的信任与支持,让我真切感受到一位政要对多元文化多种族融合的真实担当。
以文化艺术搭建桥梁
此前,我曾两度撰文记录 Catherine Ardagh 议员对华人社区文化交流活动的关怀。如今她履新部长,为我们今后的中爱文化艺术交流公益事业和创立爱尔兰中国文化艺术节增添了坚实后盾。
我将带领两个协会秉持务实作风,全力推进首届中爱文化艺术节。相信在 Catherine Ardagh 部长的持续支持下,中爱民间友谊与多元文化交融必将结出更丰硕的成果。衷心祝愿 Catherine Ardagh 国务部长履新顺利,宏图大展!
