Giscard d'Estaing said he wishes to see continued development of friendly cooperation between France and China, adding that the photo exhibition will help people learn more about the history of friendly exchanges between the two countries.

Long Songlin, CEO of China International Culture & Image Communication Corporation (a subsidiary company of Xinhua) said the photo exhibition is a fruitful result from the successful cooperation between Xinhua and AFP, their recall to the history of friendship and their gift to the 50th anniversary of the bilateral relations.

All the selected photos on the exhibition were taken by Xinhua or AFP photojournalists. The exhibition retraces 50 years of diplomatic ties between China and France and chooses 50 iconic photos showing major events since the 1950s.

Some shots depict major political events and figures, while others capture great moments of people-to-people exchange, with major figures from the social, cultural and artistic circles that have marked relations between the two countries.

The exhibition thus covers all the aspects of the political, economic and people's exchanges in the two countries.
