UNITED NATIONS, Sept. 18 (Xinhua) -- A photo exhibition unveiled here Friday at the UN Headquarters in New York to celebrate the 60th anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China.
The two-week exhibition, with the name of "A glimpse of China," was co-sponsored by Permanent Mission of China to the United Nations and China's Xinhua News Agency.
More than 30 news photos featured the daily lives of Chinese people in various walks of life and the accomplishments achieved since the birth of new China on Oct. 1, 1949.
Zhang Yesui, China's UN envoy, said at the opening ceremony that remarkable achievements have been made over the past six decades in China's political, economic, cultural and social endeavors.
"The photos on display vividly showcase what China is like today," said Zhang, adding that he hopes the exhibition will help enhance people's understanding of China.
Kiyotaka Akasaka, UN under-secretary-general for public information, spoke highly of the progress China has made in social development and achieving the UN Millennium Development Goals (MDGs).
"We all know that sixty years is just a blink of an eye in China's 5,000-year-old history. But in that blink of an eye in 60 years, China has made enormous progress," Akasaka said.
He said remarkable economic achievements have taken place in the past 30 years after China started to open up and sustain an average gross domestic product (GDP) growth of about 10 percent a year.
"This was gradually thanks to China's steady efforts in continuing its reform and successful integration into the global economy."
Some 100 officials, diplomats and journalists from the United Nations and permanent missions to the world body attended the ceremony, including Sha Zukang, UN under-secretary-general for economic and social affairs, and Ibrahim Agboola Gambari, UN under-secretary-general for political affairs.

Le 24 mars 1976, le peuple argentin subit un coup d’état militaire. C’est le début d’une ère de répression sanglante, où quelque 30 000 personnes disparaissent et près de 500 bébés sont volés. Mais s’ouvre également une période d’ultralibéralisme d&ea...

Du dépouillement des clichés de Catherine Lambermont se dégage une poésie narrative. Ses images composent une suite d’instants d’observation libre. Son travail réhabilite le continuum qui caractérise chaque frontière. La frontière est le lieu du lien. Entre le corps et l’es...

Simone Nieweg is a photographer of gardens and landscapes. Her work, as it has manifested itself over the past thirty years, knows no other interest. At the same time, a certain serenity hovers over her pictures. In them, nature seems entirely focused on itself. One immediately notices that human beings are absent. The allure of colors and shapes...

«Egyptian pack» evokes many associations - here are both Petersburgers favorite topic of werewolves (see the movie of E. Yufit «Corpsmen werewolves») and references to the Perm animal style.
Also we can recall British film «The Wicker Man» (1973) with its ritual procession of the man-beasts, ho...
