CGTN Europe honored at China Chamber of Commerce UK awards

CGTN Europe has been recognized for its contribution to driving greater social responsibility through cross border reporting.

The London-based team was chosen by the China Chamber of Commerce in the UK (CCCUK) for its Social Responsibility Award which is given to businesses achieving economic, social and environmental objectives.

China's ambassador to the UK Zheng Zeguang told an audience of dignitaries at the event that responsible collaboration was at the heart of a relationship that had delivered a wide range of positive results.

"Our economic partnership has always been a ballast and propeller for China-UK relations," he said. "Such cooperation has played an important role in our respective economic development and brought tangible benefits to people in both countries."

The CCCUK award in particular recognizes three series produced by CGTN Europe:

Bridge Builders - which tells the stories of individuals who have dedicated their lives to overcoming national divides across different fields. The series has featured personalities from the worlds of business, politics, sport, music, food and literature.

Leaders Lounge - interviews with high profile business decision-makers. Each of the interviewees has an in-depth knowledge of the both Chinese and British corporate environments dating back over many years and addresses the big picture issues.

Journey Through Civilizations - an interactive and in person exhibition showcasing the Liangzhu civilization. The project aimed to make accessible hundreds of years of history which mark significant milestones in human development but are little understood in Europe.
