To mark the 30th anniversary of restoration of China's legal seat in the United Nations, a photo show of the World Heritage in China was successfully held at Umaru - Gonda Cultural Center at Niamey, the capital of Niger, starting from December 3rd. The Counselor of Chinese Embassy Liu Xuebao, Secretary-General of Niger Ministry of Culture and Physical Culture Barmini, General Manager Maman of the official press Le Sahel and Director of the Cultural Center Sani attended the opening ceremony hosted by Chinese Embassy in Niger.

Liu Xuebao made a brief opening speech and then accompanied Niger friends to the show. Secretary-General Barmini manifested much interest in the exhibits and expressed admiration for China's old civilization and long history. He said that the excellent cultural heritage displayed here embodied the superb wisdom of the Chinese people, and reflected the harmony between man and nature. He had no doubt China, as a permanent member of the Security Council of the United Nations, would make more significant contribution to human civilization. He cherished the hope that the show would help to promote cultural exchanges between China and Niger. He said at last that he would visit the show again bringing his family with him.
