More than 900 videos from 37 countries and regions have been featured at the third China Media Group (CMG) International Video Festival at the United Nations (UN) Office in Geneva.
The festival takes place annually to coincide with the UN's Chinese Language Day. This year's theme is "Journey," as 2023 marks a decade since the launch of the Belt and Road Initiative which aims to create a modern version of the trade links that once linked the world.
Entries from the UK, France, Germany, Italy, Poland, Serbia and Russia have competed for nine awards including "Best Video," "Best Director" and "Jury's Special Recommendation." Six youth cultural envoys, who will be able to visit and study in China, were also chosen.
"From the ancient dynasties to the modern era, China has undergone significant transformations and developments, shaping its identity and place in the world. The Chinese language played a crucial role in this journey," said director-general of the United Nations Office at Geneva, Tatiana Valovaya, who thanked CMG for its contribution to the celebrations.
Chen Xu, China's ambassador to the UN in Geneva, added: "We welcome more friends from all over the world to learn the Chinese language, appreciate Chinese culture and have a better understanding of the development of China through the platform of the UN Chinese Language Day. I am sure the Chinese language will play a greater role in promoting the diversity of world civilization and building a better future."
