A dynamic light show was presented Friday night on the Burj Khalifa, the world's tallest building in Dubai, the United Arab Emirates (UAE), to commemorate the 40th anniversary of diplomatic relations between China and the UAE.

The spectacular display began with a captivating perspective through the eyes of the UAE's iconic falcon, journeying from the country's desert landscapes to the Great Wall of China. Featuring vivid images of camels and fleet of ships, it brought viewers back to the ancient Silk Road, a vibrant trade network that once connected the two regions across Eurasia.

Building on historical ties, China-UAE relationship continues to flourish in modern times. The light show demonstrated the two countries' shared commitment to growth through maritime trade, high-speed rail technology, and energy cooperation. It also paid tribute to their strong partnerships in cultural exchange, tourism, and some high-tech sectors, ranging from electric vehicles and flying cars to space explorations.

Spanning over two minutes, the light show highlighted the enduring friendship between China and the UAE while embodying hopes and blessings for a brighter future in their bilateral relations.
