Directors, actors and producers from home and abroad strengthened cultural exchanges at the first Golden Panda Awards, held from Tuesday to Wednesday.

The Golden Panda Awards is an international cultural activity that invites TV and film makers to submit outstanding works along a common theme. This year's theme was "Brilliant Civilization, Resplendent Vision".

Baris Gencel, a creative director and digital artist from Cyprus, said the event will help foster cultural exchanges between China and the world and enhance our common shared community.
