The Chinese people, young and old, cherished their friendship with Pakistan and wished to see it flourishing in the years to come to meet their common aspirations. A Chinese leader Wang An Xi said this while talking to newsmen at 'International photo exhibition' held here. He said, "We believe their friendship is based on true feelings of love and brotherhood," adding, "Pakistan-China strategic partnership is a role model of understanding, which has the support of people of the two countries."
The exhibition was arranged by Zhong Mei Cultural and Media Company in collaboration with the Qingdao Administration and world-known Haier Electrical Appliances Corporation. It was arranged to create more awareness among the Chinese people, especially youth about the culture and social traditions of the foreign countries.
The exhibition included over 200 collections from 50 countries including Pakistan, portraying their landscapes and folk-customs. It was original launched as a part of publicity campaign for 2008 Beijing Olympics.
Zhong Mei Company Manager Fred Lou said the exhibition would also be arranged in about 30 Chinese cities before the Olympics, hoping, the photos put on display would help the Chinese people to have a better understanding of culture, tourism and social traditions of other countries.
Representatives of various embassies, including the embassy of Pakistan, were invited to the exhibition, who spoke highly of the efforts arranging such events. They noted that the exhibition reflected China's efforts for holding 2008 Olympics in a befitting manner and using it as a platform for promoting its friendship and good image at regional and international levels.
