A series of cultural events promoting north China’s Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region officially began in Ulan Bator, capital of Mongolia, on Monday.
The “Feel China” cultural days, co-organized by the Chinese Embassy in Mongolia, the Ministry of Culture, Sports, Tourism and Youth of Mongolia, and the Information Office of the People’s Government of Inner Mongolia, aim to deepen people-to-people and cultural exchanges between China and Mongolia, strengthen their longstanding friendship, and celebrate the 75th anniversary of diplomatic relations.
The opening ceremony was attended by Jiang Xinhui, director of the Information Office of the People’s Government of Inner Mongolia, Zhang Muxing, acting ambassador and minister counselor of the Chinese Embassy in Mongolia, Adiyasuren Davaajargal, state secretary of the Ministry of Culture, Sports, Tourism and Youth of Mongolia, as well as other officials and representatives from both countries.
Davaajargal expressed hope that the events would further enhance cultural ties between China and Mongolia and promote cross-border tourism.
Jiang highlighted that Inner Mongolia, as a neighboring region, has leveraged its geographical and cultural proximity to serve as a crucial bridge for cooperation between China and Mongolia, encompassing economic and trade exchanges, cultural collaborations, healthcare initiatives and ecological conservation.
“With our joint efforts, the ‘Feel China’ event has been successfully held in Mongolia for many consecutive years. We have consistently adhered to our mission of promoting people-to-people exchanges and strengthening friendship, allowing Mongolian friends to better understand China and Inner Mongolia,” he said.
The five-day event series includes Shaolin martial arts performances, the inauguration of a Chinese book reading classroom at a Mongolian university, free health check-ups, and screenings of Chinese movies on Mongolian television and in cinemas, among other activities.
