The Chinese embassy in Kenya and the Kenya Union of Journalists recently announced winners of the "Together Stronger" Photography/Digital Artwork Contest. The contest was conceived in order to present various civilizations and exchanges and was launched on the occasion of the opening of the high-level meeting of the 75th UN General Assembly.

The contest attracted hundreds of submissions, with Kenyan journalists, citizens and Chinese nationals living or working in Kenya getting a chance to participate.

Participants were invited to submit works depicting people-to-people and cultural exchanges, bilateral and multilateral cooperation in all fields and aspects, as well as solidarity in fighting against the COVID-19 pandemic.
