Moscow, November 26 /Xinhua/ — The awards ceremony for the winners of the 2025 Ambassador's Grand Prix Chinese painting competition was held at the Chinese Cultural Center in Moscow on Tuesday.
Chinese Ambassador to Russia Zhang Hanhui congratulated the contestants on their outstanding results. He noted that the Ambassador's Grand Prix Chinese painting competition is being held for the fourth time, and each year the number of participants grows, and their level of skill improves. "Today, this is a major event that attracts numerous connoisseurs of Chinese culture," the ambassador emphasized.
