Read on the news that Hello Kitty has been chosen as the ambassador for the April sakura festival hosted at the Embassy of Japan in China on April 19, 2008.

A little background: It has been exactly thirty years since China and Japan signed the Treaty of Peace and Friendship, so this year has been set as a “friendship exchange” year for Chinese and Japanese teenagers. In recognition of this special event, our beloved Hello Kitty has been invited to host the openning ceremony.

Here are some pictures from the event:

I think the candidate selection is totally appropriate - who else can spread the theme of love and friendship better than Hello Kitty?
