China Media Group (CMG) launched a vibrant cultural diplomacy initiative at UN Headquarters in New York this week, marking eight decades of international cooperation through an art exhibition titled 'Beauty in Harmony, Destiny in Unity.' The event forms part of global celebrations honoring the United Nations' founding anniversary.
The exhibition features multimedia installations documenting the UN's legacy, including works like 'Human Carbon Footprint' and 'The Road to Prosperity' that spotlight China's contributions to sustainable development goals. CMG President Shen Haixiong emphasized in a video address that such artistic expressions serve as 'universal languages bridging civilizations.'
Attendees highlighted the timing of this initiative, coming amid growing calls for strengthened multilateral frameworks. The showcased narratives tracing the UN's evolution from post-war institution to modern peacekeeper resonated with diplomats and development experts present.
Analysts note the exhibition strategically aligns with China's active participation in global governance mechanisms. By visualizing achievements in poverty eradication and climate action, CMG's curation aims to foster dialogue about shared challenges facing the international community.
