Foreign Diplomats Visit Photo Show on CPC History

"It is indeed a history of glory!" said Colonel Sein Gyawt, military attache of the Myanmar Embassy in Beijing, when he visited a photo exhibition marking the 80th anniversary of the founding of the Communist Party of China (CPC) Wednesday.

Military attaches from 36 foreign embassies in China and their wives visited the photo show titled "Shoulder the Great Hope of the People."

The show, which was opened June 20, has so far attracted more than one million visitors.

Colonel Ramon G. Santos, defense and armed forces attache of the Embassy of the Philippines, said the Chinese people are great because they won their independence and prosperity with their own hands.

Standing before the model of China's first jet plane made in 1956, he said that the Chinese people should be proud of what they have achieved.

Great changes have taken place in China after the 20 years of reform and opening up, said a diplomat from the Republic of Korea.

Some of the diplomats held the view that Beijing being selected to host the 2008 Olympic Games means the world recognizes China's achievements and it will offer a good chance to show an even more beautiful China to the world.
