On May 11, the Chinese Embassy in Denmark held the award ceremony of the “Hej China” Essay and Short Video Contest. Ambassador Wang Xuefeng presented awards to the winning representatives and had discussions and exchanges with them.

Ambassador Wang noted that today marks the 76th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between China and Denmark. Over the past 76 years, the bilateral relations have maintained sound and steady development, and people-to-people and cultural exchanges have grown increasingly closer. Entries to this contest are a vivid reflection of Danish friends’ firsthand experience of China and China-Denmark friendship. China will continue to expand high-standard opening up and has introduced a range of measures to facilitate people-to-people exchanges. The visa exemption policy has encouraged many Danish friends to visit China and experience China’s long-standing history and splendid culture, and witness great achievements of Chinese modernization and the happy life of its people. It is hoped that each participant will continue to stay engaged with and deepen their understanding of China, and actively serve as “envoys of friendship” between the two peoples.

The award recipients thanked the Embassy for organizing the event, shared their wonderful moments in China, spoke highly of China’s fast development and the hospitality of the Chinese people, and expressed great expectation for a future journey to China .
