Chinese Ambassador to the UK Zheng Zeguang visited the headquarters of the International Maritime Organisation (IMO) on Monday and informed Secretary-General Arsenio Dominguez of the Chinese government’s decision to establish a Permanent Mission of the People’s Republic of China to the IMO. Ambassador Zheng also presented the instrument of full powers appointing him as China’s Permanent Representative to the IMO.

Ambassador Zheng noted the great importance the Chinese government attaches to the IMO’s key role, as a UN specialized agency, in enhancing maritime safety and security and in preventing marine and atmospheric pollution from ships. As a Category A member of the IMO Council, China has firmly upheld and practiced true multilateralism and remains actively committed to contributing to the IMO’s mission statement of “safe, secure and efficient shipping on clean oceans”. The establishment of China’s Permanent Mission will help further deepen China’s exchanges and cooperation with the IMO Secretariat and Member States, making new contributions to advancing international maritime cooperation and to building a global maritime community with a shared future.

Secretary-General Dominguez expressed his pleasure at receiving the instrument of full powers from Ambassador Zheng as the Permanent Representative of the People’s Republic of China to the IMO. The IMO Secretariat appreciates China’s participation in the work of the Organisation and looks forward to China’s continued support.

The IMO is a UN specialized agency responsible for maritime safety and security, prevention of marine pollution from ships and related legal matters. Headquartered in London, the IMO currently has 176 Member States and three Associate Members. China resumed its lawful seat as an IMO Member State in 1973 and has continuously served as a Category A member of the IMO Council since 1989. The Chinese government recently decided to establish the Permanent Mission of the People’s Republic of China to the IMO, with Chinese Ambassador to the UK Zheng Zeguang concurrently serving as Permanent Representative to the Organisation.

The beloved British icon has found a new home in the heart of London!

The Paddington Bear Experience is an expansive and family-friendly attraction celebrating the marmalade-loving bear opened at County Hall on the South Bank and celebrated its first anniversary recently, offering families a theatrical and interactive journey through Paddington's world.

Spanning over 26,000 square feet, the experience is designed as a walk-through adventure that takes visitors from the jungles of Peru to the iconic Paddington Station and onward to the Brown family's home at 32 Windsor Gardens. It combines storytelling, live performance, set design, and digital effects to bring Michael Bond's classic character to life in a way never seen before.

The project is led by The Path Entertainment Group in collaboration with The Copyrights Group and Lionsgate, with direction by Tom Maller and creative design by Rebecca Brower. It is also endorsed by Paddington's publisher, HarperCollins, and the late author's estate.

Visitors begin the 70-minute journey by boarding a replica train carriage and traveling "with Paddington" through different story worlds. Along the way, guests are invited to help Mrs. Bird prepare marmalade recipes in the Brown household kitchen, solve puzzles, and explore a Peruvian jungle, reflecting Paddington's origins.

The experience culminates in a lively Windsor Gardens street party complete with music, fairground games, and marmalade sandwiches.

It's a finale designed not only for entertainment but also for photo opportunities and browsing at Mr. Gruber's antique shop.

The location at County Hall places the attraction at the cultural core of the South Bank, directly across the river from Westminster. With the nearest stations -- Waterloo and Westminster -- only minutes away, organisers anticipate strong footfall from both tourists and locals.
