Experience China in the Republic of Korea 2006 will showcase a
series of cultural events to promote understanding of China among
South Koreans and improve friendly cooperation between Beijing and
Seoul.
This will be the ROK's largest-ever Chinese cultural gathering
since 1992, Cai Wu, minister of the State Council Information
Office, told a press conference yesterday.
The events were designed according to an agreement between
Chinese President Hu Jintao and ROK President Roh Moo-hyun during
the Busan APEC summit in South Korea last November, Cai said.
Cai stressed that the festival would be a landmark in
Beijing-Seoul relations and reflect the two nations' bilateral
partnership.
"Experience China in South Korea 2006 will boost the ROK
people's understanding of China and help further develop friendly
cooperation between the two nations," said Yoo Jae-woong, director
of the Korean Overseas Information Service (KOIS). "It will be a
successful event and lead to a win-win result," Yoo said.
Co-sponsored by the Chinese Information Office of the State
Council and the KOIS, the event will also display of about 500
photos portraying the 14-year relations between China and the ROK
since 1992.
