Visiting professor of China's Northwest University, board member of the Shandong Overseas Friendship Association and member of the Shanghai Consumer Protection Committee – Rona is all these titles rolled into one, and is likely to achieve even more in the future.
"Everyone should have his or her dream, even if he or she is 80 or 90 years old. People's dreams are supposed to be fluid," Rona said. He is realizing his dream step by step through his endeavors.
With the China-Turkey trade increasing dynamically nowadays, Rona is even busier at his work, and also more concerned about the development of bilateral relations. During the Turkish president's latest visit to China, Rona, despite being no longer a staff member of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Turkey, again acted as interpreter. "I want to contribute my part to China-Turkey relations. I really cherish this chance to interpret, and am unwilling to let it go. At such major events, I want to do my best to help state leaders understand each other more accurately," he said.
Once a young man who cherished a single dream to understand a stretch of history by learning Chinese, Noyan Rona has matured into a witness, participant and promoter of China-Turkey exchange. He says he owes all this to his first dream and his 30-year-long perseverance. China's development has surpassed the expectations of Chinese people and the world as well. Rona believes that in the future China will be even more amazing. He will hence stay in Shanghai, the country's most dynamic and open metropolis, to witness all the dreams, of China, its people and expats living here, come true.
