The Ministry of Culture and Tourism will take 40 diplomats from 25 countries on a visit to southwestern China's Guizhou province from Sept 26-29.
The visit, involving 40 envoys, will take in multiple areas of the province, including the provincial capital Guiyang and Rongjiang county, to appreciate local history and culture during the Discover China Cultural Tour of Guizhou for Diplomats.
Additionally, diplomats and foreign soccer players will join the local Village Super League. During the friendship soccer match, an international culture and tourism fair will be staged, according to Liu Quan, deputy head of the ministry's international exchange and cooperation division.
Liu points out that the international friendship match aims to highlight the important role of diplomats in China as a bridge of cultural exchange and friendship. It is hoped that through their eyes and hearts, they will experience and share the beauty of China, Liu says.
Marcelo Gabriel Suarez Salvia, Argentine ambassador to China, says this cultural tour represents a remarkable opportunity to foster deeper mutual understanding between the two nations.
"The integration of culture, tourism, sports, and agriculture in this project not only highlights the nature of Guizhou but also opens up avenues for collaboration and mutual learning," he says.
"Our participation in the program Discover China Cultural Tour for Diplomats is a way to show Argentina's commitment to strengthening bilateral relations with China. By engaging actively in this cultural journey, we aim to build stronger bridges of communication and cooperation. This initiative allows diplomats in China to gain a more exact and refined appreciation of Chinese culture, traditions, and economic strengths. This is essential for fostering long-term, sustainable partnerships," he adds.
