After several months¡¯ careful preparation, under the strengthened support of Chief Representative Liu Jialin, and all the arrangements & coordination from the Agency of Federation of GCC Chambers in China (FGCCC), the shooting in the Kingdom of Bahrain won great supports from GCC, the Chinese Embassy in the Kingdom of Bahrain, Bahrain Royal Family Press Office, Bahrain Chamber of commerce & industry, Bahrain Information Ministry, Bahrain Royal Family Foundation, Bahrain Oil Ministry, Bahrain - China Friendship Association, and Bahrain Chinese-funded institutions, which realized the long-conceived cooperation plan between CCTV and Gulf countries, and opened up a new chapter of television cooperation for the two sides.
During the shooting process, the Kingdom of Bahrain provided a full range of supports, no matter the helicopters needed in aerial photographing, or the ships required in sea-sight capturing, or the vehicles for land interview & shooting, they all offered necessary assistance. Meanwhile, the Chinese Embassy also worked helpfully, they funded to lease place, and the Ambassador hosted the commencement ceremony in person, also he assigned special staff to assist the shooting until the ending.
Although the Agency of Federation of GCC Chambers in China made a great contribution for the shooting, while comparing to the push of cooperation & exchange between China and the Gulf countries, the harvest was unmatched. At the same time, we accumulated much experience, which is the basis of promoting the cooperation & exchanges with the other five gulf countries in the future as well as the filming of TV Special.
We were proud to consider that through the hard work of FGCCC, there must be a new cooperation climax between China and the Gulf countries.
