STORYLINE:
The Chinese Embassy in Somalia on Wednesday awarded a six-year-old Somali boy whose painting was among the top 10 winners of the "My Dream" painting competition.
The competition was co-hosted by the secretariat of the Chinese Follow-up Committee of the Forum on China-Africa Cooperation, the China Manned Space Engineering Office, and the Chinese missions in Africa.
The Somali boy, Kawkib Mohamud, won the first prize with his dove-themed painting, which is one of 10 paintings that was exhibited at China's Tiangong space station by the Shenzhou-16 taikonauts who are currently on a five-month exploration mission.

"I'm happy that my son Kawkib is the first person, that responsible for the first material that traveled from Somalia to outer space, to the Tiangong space station. That brings a lot of feelings, not just to me, but to Somalia and to African in general."
Chinese Ambassador to Somalia Fei Shengchao congratulated the young boy on winning the painting competition, saying that his painting expressed the Somali people's dream of peace.
SOUNDBITE 2 (Chinese): FEI SHENGCHAO, Chinese Ambassador to Somalia
"We hope that with this painting, it not only conveys a message of peace, but also prays for peace in the world, and we can have a more peaceful and better world in the future."
The event comes just two weeks after the Chinese embassy held a farewell ceremony for more than 30 students who received scholarship opportunities from Chinese universities and went to China for studies. The two nations have enjoyed a long-term friendship since they established diplomatic ties on Dec. 14, 1960, only six months after Somalia gained its independence from the colonial powers.
