Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Wang Wenbin presided over a regular press conference on January 5, 2024. He presented a slideshow, which displayed multiple pictures released by Shiliuyun-Xinjiang Daily.

In the past year, nearly 400 delegations consisting of over 4,300 foreign guests from various countries and international organizations including Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Uzbekistan, Pakistan, Indonesia, Malaysia, Japan, Egypt, France, Germany, Switzerland, Canada, the Arab League, and the Organization of Islamic Cooperation have visited northwest China's Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region. Among them are not only government officials and diplomats, but also religious personnel, experts and scholars, media reporters, and ordinary citizens. They visited various places in Xinjiang, listened to religious personnel preaching at mosques and the Islamic institutes, experienced the protection and inheritance of Xinjiang culture in the streets and alleys, learned about Xinjiang's production and development in factories and fields, and witnessed the happy lives of people of all ethnic groups in ordinary households.

Let's take a look at this set of pictures.
