In a vibrant display of cultural diplomacy, CGTN’s Ioana Gomoi recently presented the official mascot of China Media Group’s 2026 Spring Festival Gala to Jordan’s Ambassador to China, Hussam Al Husseini. The exchange, captured in Beijing this week, underscores the Gala’s growing role as a global cultural bridge 🌏✨.
Ambassador Al Husseini praised the Gala as a 'stunning showcase of Chinese traditions and innovation,' adding that it 'opens a window for the world to understand China’s rich heritage.' The mascot—a playful symbol of Lunar New Year joy—will now reside at Jordan’s embassy, symbolizing strengthened ties between the two nations.
This year’s Gala, watched by over 1 billion people worldwide, featured collaborations with artists from 15 countries. For young global audiences, such moments highlight how cultural exchanges can turn ancient traditions into modern connections 🎨🤝.
