The National Library of Vietnam on June 18 opened an exhibition on cultural products of China’s Nanjing city and a seminar on cultural traditions and the creative industry.
Speaking at the opening ceremony, Kieu Thuy Nga, director of the
library, said Vietnam and China are close neighbours, sharing a long history of
cultural exchanges and cultural similarities.
She recalled that in November last year, on the occasion of Chinese President
Xi Jinping’s visit to Vietnam, the two countries signed a memorandum of
understanding on cooperation in cultural industry.
The exhibition and seminar are activities in realisation of the pact, she
added.
The exhibition featured 50 products bearing both traditional and modern
cultural traits of Nanjing, helping Vietnamese understand more about Chinese
cultural values.
Charge d'affaires of the Chinese Embassy in Vietnam Yin Hai Hong said China’s
cultural industry has thrived in recent year, with its total value contributing
4.5 percent to the national GDP in 2016.
In this field, Nanjing has done a good job in optimizing its rich cultural
heritage, Yin said, noting that a series of supporting policies have helped
stimulate cultural creativity in combination with traditional cultural values,
hence the establishment of many outstanding businesses in the field.
The exhibition and the seminar were said to create an opportunity for
Vietnamese and Chinese experts to discuss and exchange opinions in search of
new development path for the cultural industry.
