Kazakh-Chinese media event highlights cross-promotion of tourism and cultural heritage
Kazakhstan and China launched several media projects to promote tourism and bilateral cultural interests at the cultural exchange event on July 2 in Astana.
Apart from cooperation in politics, trade and transport, cultural exchange plays a crucial role in strengthening bilateral ties, according to Kazakh Minister of Culture and Information Aida Balayeva.
“A very important aspect of our cooperation is strong ties in the field of culture. In particular, organizing performances of creative groups, museum exhibitions, art expositions, screenings of new films in the film industry, and the opening of memorials is very important,” said Balayeva.
The exchange of official visits by both leaders will pave the way for successful cultural cooperation in the future. “Thanks to the personal friendship of our heads of state, cooperation between Kazakhstan and China is experiencing a real renaissance today,” she said.
Speaking at the event, CMG President Shen Haixiong expressed gratitude for Kazakhstan’s warm welcome and underscored the significance of the program.
“Today we begin the third season of ‘Xi Jinping’s Classical Quotes’ in Kazakh, which collects classic Chinese sayings quoted by the Chinese President in significant speeches, articles and conversations. The broadcasts reveal the meaning and global value of profound Chinese traditional culture in the new era. These classical expressions actually reveal China’s past, present and future,” said Shen.(Source:astanatimes)
