Foreword
China is a country with long history, splendid
cultural heritage and many different ethnic groups. In that
long process of development and during their joint efforts
of economic construction and in their common struggle
against foreign invasions for national unity and ethnic
harmony, the Chinese people of different ethnic groups have
developed together this unique and diversified Chinese
civilization. Meanwhile, an open-mindedness and generosity
was cultivated that people should reserve their differences
and seek common ground for mutual development. No nation is
or can be isolated in their development. Take the
development of Chinas culture for example, with a
tradition of opening up to the outside world, China is
opening its arms to embrace the world on an unprecedented
scale after decades of reform and opening up. The Chinese
Government encourages all types of cultural exchange in
order to let the world know China and vice versa. This is
the sincere aspiration cherished by the Chinese People.
Today, culture and art have become a bridge of friendship
connecting the Chinese people and people the world over. At
present, a new situation featuring multiple channels and
forms has appeared in cultural exchange between China and
other countries. It has promoted inter-governmental
contacts, expanded direct exchange and expedited bilateral
and multilateral exchanges, gradually pushing the level of
exchange to a higher level.
China and
Singapore enjoy good relations. Since the establishment of
diplomatic relations between the two countries, cultural
exchange has become more and more frequent, in the field of
literature and art, press, sports, religion, tourism, etc.
The Department of Cultural Affairs, Chinese
Embassy in Singapore serves as a bridge in promoting
cultural exchange between the two countries. By providing
excellent cultural services and cooperation with the
Singaporean cultural workers, the Department is willing to
further enhance the friendship with better understanding
between the people of the two nations.
