Nairobi’s National Museum lit up on December 19 as Kenya launched a vibrant photo exhibition honoring the 620th anniversary of Chinese explorer Zheng He’s historic voyages and 62 years of diplomatic ties with China. 🦁✨ The event, themed "A New Chapter of the Silk Road, a Shared Future for a Common Destiny," blended culture and history with lion dances, traditional performances, and striking visuals tracing ancient maritime connections.
🔍 The exhibition highlights how Zheng He’s 15th-century journeys laid early foundations for China-Africa exchanges, mirroring today’s growing partnerships in trade, tech, and sustainability. Kenyan officials praised the showcase as a "bridge between past and present," while Chinese delegates emphasized cross-cultural collaboration ahead of 2026’s Belt and Road Initiative milestones.
🎤 A museum curator told NewspaperAmigo.com: "This isn’t just about history—it’s a roadmap for how global youth can shape tomorrow’s interconnected world."
