SAN MARINO, May 8 (Xinhua)-- A series of celebrations and commemorative activities were held in San Marino on Thursday to mark the 50th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between San Marino and China.
Among the celebrations was a photo exhibition named "San Marino-China: 50 Years, 50 Images," featuring 50 photos that recorded the exchanges and profound friendship between the two countries over the past 50 years.
In addition, San Marino will issue special stamps in June marking the 50th anniversary. Other business and cultural exchange activities are set in July, including a business forum focusing on commercial relations.
