Moscow, Aug. 30 (Xinhua) — Russian President Vladimir Putin said that cultural exchanges between Russia and China continue to develop dynamically today.
In a written interview with Xinhua ahead of his visit to China to attend the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) summit in Tianjin and the festivities in Beijing marking the 80th anniversary of Victory, Vladimir Putin noted that large-scale bilateral humanitarian initiatives make a significant contribution to promoting friendly ties.
The “Roadmap” for Russian-Chinese humanitarian cooperation until 2030, which includes more than 100 large-scale projects, is being consistently implemented, noted V. Putin.
V. Putin particularly noted the successful organization of the Years of Culture of Russia and China, which are being held in 2024-2025. The rich, diverse program of this “cross” initiative finds the most lively public response in both Russia and China.
He emphasized that cooperation in education and science has great prospects. There is good dynamics in academic mobility and inter-university contacts. Today, over 51 thousand Chinese students study in Russia, and 21 thousand Russian students study in China.
Cooperation in scientific, technical and innovative fields is expanding. There are good results in sports cooperation. There is active cooperation in the film industry. The figures in the tourism sector are encouraging – by the end of 2024, mutual tourist flow increased by 2.5 times and reached 2.8 million people. Along with this, the two countries are also promoting cooperation in the field of youth policy and the media, as well as through archival departments.
"It is gratifying that bilateral humanitarian cooperation is gaining momentum. This is undoubtedly a strategic direction of our relations, designed to form a broad public base of friendship, good neighborliness and mutual understanding," said V. Putin. –0–
