A Hunan art show was staged in Ahmadi Governorate, Kuwait on the evening of September 3. The event was guided by the Ministry of Culture and Tourism of China, the Chinese Embassy in Kuwait, and organized by the Hunan Provincial Department of Culture and Tourism and the Kuwait Chinese Cultural Center.

9月3日晚，由中国文化和旅游部、驻科威特大使馆指导，湖南省文化和旅游厅、科威特中国文化中心主办的“天涯共此时·湘约中东”文艺演出活动在科威特艾哈迈迪省举行。

The art show featured a series of art performances with Hunan characteristics, conveying heartfelt wishes for reunion during the upcoming Mid-Autumn Festival. A total of 33 artists from Hunan Acrobatic Art Theater, Hunan Provincial Song and Dance Theater, and Hunan Puppet and Shadow Art Protection and Inheritance Center staged brilliant performances for Kuwaiti audiences, showcasing traditional Chinese culture through acrobatic shows, folk dance, instrumental music performances, and puppet shows.

此次演出以中秋佳节团圆美满的寓意为核心，编排了一系列充满湖湘特色的文艺节目。来自湖南省杂技艺术剧院、湖南省歌舞剧院和湖南省木偶皮影艺术保护传承中心的33名演员通过杂技、民族歌舞、器乐以及木偶戏等节目，以卓越的技艺为观众勾勒出一幅幅中国传统文化的绚丽画卷。

Zhang Jianwei, Chinese ambassador to Kuwait, noted that the event aimed to implement the important consensus reached by the two heads of state, promote cultural exchanges between the two sides, and help more Kuwaitis understand traditional Chinese culture and the beautiful scenery and long history of Hunan. Many Kuwaiti people from all walks of life came to watch the performances, which also showcased the charm of traditional Chinese culture.
