How to render a Views Content Pane programmatically? I have a view which displays all content of type "news" which is tagged with a specific tag, e.g. "world" (passed as parameter to the view).

The view machine name is news. It has a display of type Content Pane (machine name panel_pane_1). It also has a contextual filter set to "field_tags".

How to render this view content pane programmatically, passing tag value "world" to it? 

(I've found ctools_content_render but no idea if this is the right function for this task and how to use it)
You can use

views_embed_view

e.g

print views_embed_view('news', 'panel_pane_1', 'world');


Any additional parameters will be passed as arguments, i.e contextual filter values.
