He expressed hope that visitors will gain an understanding of the underlying logic of China's development through this exhibition, recognize the immense potential of China-Russia cooperation, and seize the vast opportunities brought by Chinese modernization.
Anton Artemov, deputy governor of the Chelyabinsk region, said that Russia-China relations are built on the unshakable principles of good-neighborliness, mutual respect and strategic partnership. In his view, the photo exhibition serves as a genuine chronicle of Chinese modernization. These are not merely pictures, but snapshots embodying the strength, diligence and talent of a great nation.
"Culture has always served as a bridge connecting our two great nations. This exhibition will help the Russian public gain a deeper understanding of China's achievements," said Irina Anfalova-Shishkina, first deputy minister of culture of the Chelyabinsk region.
Co-hosted by the Consulate General of the People's Republic of China in Yekaterinburg and Xinhua News Agency's Eurasia Bureau, the exhibition will run until July 22.
