URUMQI, Dec. 23 (Xinhua) -- The government of northwest China's Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region and the Chinese Embassy in Senegal on Wednesday jointly held a video conference to share the latest situation in Xinjiang with Senegalese guests.

More than 20 government officials, scholars, media practitioners and students from the African country attended the conference online.

Attendees learned about Xinjiang's social stability, economic development, freedom of religious belief and the improvement of people's livelihoods after hearing stories told by the locals and interacting with them.

Mehmetimin Ihat, who is a practitioner of the Muqam art, the traditional music of the Uygur ethnic group, performed at the conference, and other local representatives also shared their stories of happy and peaceful life.

Chinese Ambassador to Senegal Xiao Han said that thousands of diplomats, journalists and religious figures from more than 100 countries have visited Xinjiang in recent years, and that the conference guests were welcome to visit Xinjiang to see by themselves.

The Senegalese guests said more such exchanges will help the Senegalese people better understand the real Xinjiang.
