卡里尔·哈什米大使本周与其他大使一道参观了位于深圳的腾讯总部。腾讯是中国领先的科技巨头之一，也是微信的开发者。微信作为开创性的“超级应用”，拥有超过十亿用户，广泛应用于通信、支付、电商、交通、医疗、公共服务等众多领域。
腾讯在人工智能、云计算、数字生态系统、金融科技、医疗科技以及产业数字化等方面所取得的开创性成就令人赞叹。尤其令人印象深刻的是，腾讯能够将创新转化为大规模落地的实际解决方案，通过无缝衔接的数字生态系统连接个人、企业和各类服务，而这一生态系统已成为数百万用户日常生活中不可或缺的一部分。
同样值得称道的是，腾讯在数字医疗领域所作出的贡献，例如基于人工智能的医学影像技术、智慧医疗平台，以及支持医院、医护人员和患者的数字化工具。尤其令人着迷的是，了解到沉浸式数字技术正被用于打造考古遗址、历史遗迹、博物馆和文化地标的实时虚拟体验，以这种方式让更多公众能够接触和了解文化遗产，同时促进其保护与传承。
腾讯对可持续发展的承诺同样值得赞赏，特别是在实现碳中和目标以及利用科技推动绿色增长方面所付出的努力。
腾讯的发展历程生动诠释了创新精神与长期愿景如何推动经济转型、促进文化遗产保护，并助力社会进步。
Ambassador Khalil Hashmi was delighted to visit Tencent HQ in Shenzhen along with fellow Ambassadors this week. Tencent is one of China's leading technology giants and the developer of WeChat, the pioneering "super app" used by over a billion people for communication, payments, commerce, transportation, healthcare, public services, and much more.
Tencent's pathbreaking work in artificial intelligence, cloud computing, digital ecosystems, fintech, healthcare technologies, and industrial digitalization is truly remarkable. Particularly impressive is Tencent's ability to translate innovation into practical solutions at scale and thereby connecting people, businesses, and services through a seamless digital ecosystem that has become an integral part of daily life for millions.
Equally noteworthy are Tencent's contributions to digital healthcare such as AI-enabled medical imaging, smart healthcare platforms, and digital tools that support hospitals, healthcare professionals, and patients. It was fascinating to learn how immersive digital technologies are being used to create virtual, real-time experiences of archaeological sites, historical ruins, museums, and cultural landmarks and in that fashion enabling wider public access to cultural heritage while supporting its preservation and appreciation.
Tencent's commitment to sustainable development specially its carbon neutrality goals and efforts to harness technology in support of green growth is commendable.
Tencent's journey is a powerful illustration of how innovation and a long-term vision can contribute to economic transformation, cultural preservation, and societal progress. Way to go, Tencent!
