A special cultural event celebrating the 75th anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China (PRC) was held in Mexico City on Friday, highlighting the growing cultural ties between China and Mexico.
"Written in the Sky: My China Story" is a series of cultural events launched by China Media Group (CMG) in March 2024 to gather personal stories about China from around the world. To date, it has collected more than 1,600 stories from China and over 60 countries worldwide.
Shen Haixiong, president of CMG, delivered a speech via a video link.
Shen stated that different languages convey universal emotions, reflect the deep integration of emotions and cultures from countries around the world, embody the shared longing of people for peace and beauty, and mirror the profound power of friendship that transcends national boundaries and space.
Noting that CMG will work to strengthen international people-to-people exchanges and promote dialogue among global civilizations, Shen said that great efforts will be made to build a community with a shared future for mankind.
Zhang Run, the Chinese Ambassador to Mexico, and Yeidckol Polevnsky, former President of the Mexico-China Friendship Group in the Mexican Chamber of Deputies, addressed the special event.
This year marks the 52nd anniversary of China-Mexico diplomatic ties and the 11th anniversary of their comprehensive strategic partnership, and the friendship between the two countries has deepened over the years thanks to the joint efforts of various sectors in both China and Mexico, said Zhang.
Polevnsky stressed that China has achieved unparalleled development over the past few decades.
She said China actively fulfills its international obligations, promotes mutually beneficial cooperation with countries around the world, and shares development opportunities and achievements, adding that China's vision and wisdom are worth learning from for Latin American countries, including Mexico.
More than 100 attendees from various sectors, including politics and the media, as well as teachers and students, participated in the event.
During the event, Mexico's television station Canal 6, the National Autonomous University of Mexico, and El Colegio de México officially joined the global partnership program of the "Written in the Sky: My China Story" campaign and were awarded certificates.
Several Mexican social media influencers shared their experiences of living and studying in China through videos and interacted with teachers and students from the National Autonomous University of Mexico and El Colegio de México.
