On May 20, 2025, at 8:00 AM local time in the United States, the Telly Awards officially announced that the documentary "Dialogue with ASEAN"—guided by the Department of Asian Affairs of China's Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the International Department of the National Radio and Television Administration, with academic support from Shanghai Jiao Tong University and produced by Shanghai Media Group—won two Gold Awards at the 46th Annual Telly Awards, in the categories of News Video and Documentary Long Form.

The Telly Awards, founded in 1979, is often referred to as the "Oscars of the U.S. Television Industry" and stands as a prestigious international accolade honoring excellence in global video and television productions. The competition's jury comprises over 200 top-tier industry experts from leading television networks, production companies, and advertising agencies worldwide.

In 2025, the Telly Awards saw fierce competition, with the organizing committee receiving over 13,000 submissions from more than 50 countries across six continents. Only less than 10% of entries advanced to the final round of judging, underscoring the exceptional caliber of this year's winners.
