Cultural communication boosts China-Uruguay ties

Ignacio Perez Gomar, a young artist from Uruguay, was a highlight of the expo. As an art talent, he began turning sand into art works since he was a child.

"It is the first time I have been to China. I think this is a beautiful country and I enjoyed the experience," he said, adding that "Through my art work, I want to show the loving and passionate inner world to all the people."

Agustina said that many of Gomar's artworks can give a boost to people-to-people exchanges between China and Uruguay, and also make Uruguay cultural accessible more to Chinese people.
