Seeking to enhance people-to-people
understanding, India will hold a series
of cultural and business events across 12
Chinese cities to mark 'India-China Year
of Friendly Exchanges'.
Indian Embassy in Beijing along with its Consulates
in Shanghai, Guangzhou and Hong Kong will organise series of events under the
"Glimpses of India" festival. The Friendly Exchanges initiative has
already been formally inaugurated by the Chinese Vice President Li Yuanchao at
India's Republic Day reception here last month while his Indian counterpart
Hamid Ansari kicked off the same at the Chinese Embassy in New Delhi recently.
"The Glimpses of India Festival will
feature Indian performing arts, exhibitions of modern Indian art and
calligraphy, visual and photographic exhibitions on Buddhist heritage of India
and links with China," the Indian Embassy said in a statement on Monday.
The festival will also depict India's
scientific achievements, food and film festivals, as well as events involving
eminent Indian and Chinese scholars and writers. Tourism and business promotion
events will also constitute key components of the Festival.
The 12 Chinese cities that will witness
activities associated with the festival include Beijing, Chongqing, Chengdu, Guangzhou, Hangzhou, Hong Kong, Dali,
Kunming, Shanghai, Urumqi, Lhasa andQingdao.
The first set of events will be held
beginning April 2014 in the cities of Beijing,
Chengdu, and Hong Kong. The
activities and exchanges under the Glimpses of India Festival will further strengthen
the people-to-people dimension of the India-China Strategic and Cooperative
Partnership and contribute towards enhancing the understanding of India in
China, it said.
