This phased approach allows for inclusive dialogue, member-driven priorities, and agile response to emerging global challenges.

Harvard Club Black-Tie Night | Diplomats from 30 Nations, Business Leaders, and Global Cultural Figures Gather in New York

— FTCOC Annual Gala Held in the Historic Grand Ballroom
— Mr. Ji Xiaohua, Founder, President, and Renowned International Affairs Commentator of Wall Street Satellite TV,
 Invited for In-Depth Observation

[Special Report from New York]

On the evening of November 14, 2025, the century-old Harvard Club of New York, located in the heart of Manhattan, hosted the annual Federal Transnational Chamber of Commerce (FTCOC) Black-Tie Gala and Cocktail Reception. Diplomats from more than 30 countries, leaders from New York’s business and political communities, and prominent figures from the international cultural and financial sectors arrived one after another, gathering in this historic venue for a landmark night of global commerce and cross-civilization exchange.

Elegant Hosts Set the Tone

Once guests were seated, the evening’s special bilingual hosts—well-known New York presenters Che Yaoyao and Sisi—took the stage. With poised delivery and fluent English–Chinese transitions, they formally opened this high-level international gala, instantly warming the room with graceful professionalism and lighthearted engagement.

**Chairman Michael’s Address:

“Let Cross-Border Cooperation and People-to-People Exchange
 Power the World”**

Amid applause, FTCOC Chairman Michael delivered the opening remarks, welcoming guests from around the globe and emphasizing the significance of having diplomats, entrepreneurs, and cultural leaders gathered together in New York.

He stated:

“Tonight at the Harvard Club, we come together not only to celebrate, but to advance cross-border cooperation, strengthen people-to-people friendship, and help small and medium-sized enterprises enter
 the global market.”

He reaffirmed FTCOC’s commitment to building international bridges through business, culture, education, and philanthropy—fostering a world that grows closer through dialogue and stronger through trust. His remarks received repeated applause, setting the evening’s core theme: cooperation, trust, and connection.


A Classical Hall Filled with Global Diplomacy and Elite Exchange

The iconic red walls, oil portraits, vintage sconces, and sweeping staircase of the Harvard Club’s Grand Ballroom created an atmosphere of distinguished British charm. Guests enjoyed a refined culinary experience prepared by the Club’s executive chef team, including:
• Pan-seared steak
• Roasted sea bass
• Shrimp platters
• A selection of red wines and classic cocktails
• Ice-cream desserts and French pastries
• Fresh fruit salads and non-alcoholic beverages

Amid the aroma of wine and soft music, diplomats, entrepreneurs, and cultural leaders engaged in lively conversation and explored avenues for further cooperation.

Distinguished Guests Illuminate the Evening

The Gala gathered numerous influential leaders from both the Chinese-American community and the international cultural sphere, including:

1. Dr. Jiang Jinxin, internationally recognized Chinese leader

2. Mr. Xie Feng, prominent U.S. Chinese community figure

3. Gerard, Mc Keon,  Chairman of the Black-Tie Elite Club

4. Ms. Li Yiling, representative of the UN cultural system
… and many others.

Their presence gave the event diplomatic depth, cultural resonance,
and global relevance.


FTCOC: A Bridge Connecting Economics, Culture, and Diplomacy

As a certified 501(c)(3) international organization, FTCOC is dedicated to:
1. Promoting cross-national business cooperation
2. Serving global Chinese business networks
3. Advancing diplomacy and people-to-people exchange
4. Building a platform for SMEs to expand internationally

Its Black-Tie Annual Gala is widely regarded as one of the premier social events for New York’s political, business, and diplomatic communities.



**Mr. Ji Xiaohua’s Insight:

“Here, the World Sees the Power of Civil Society”**

Special guest Mr. Ji Xiaohua, Founder, President, and internationally respected commentator of Wall Street Satellite TV, shared his observations with our network:

“This is where global business, culture, and diplomacy intersect—an authentic platform for civil-society dialogue in the era of globalization. The contributions of the global Chinese community are seen, respected, and amplified here.”

He emphasized that such gatherings enhance international trust in the Chinese diaspora and facilitate deeper cultural dialogue, business partnerships, and cross-cultural understanding.

A Night of Civilizational Exchange and
Warm International Cooperation

From diplomatic conversations to cultural dialogue, from intellectual exchange among global elites to emerging cross-sector collaborations, this black-tie gala was far more than a social event—it was a living snapshot of global interaction in practice.

Individuals from diverse cultures and backgrounds advanced mutual understanding through etiquette, sincerity, and shared wisdom—all under the historic roof of the Harvard Club.
