Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary of the People’s Republic of China to the Russian Federation Li Hui about the new special issue “China - Russia: On the Crossroads of Cultures”

It is hard to imagine a Chinese tourist arriving in Moscow and not visiting the State Tretyakov Gallery. Now tourists from China have the opportunity to purchase a magazine bearing the name of the main national museum of Russia and to become acquainted with its history and collection in their native language.

I am sure that both the Russian and foreign readership of the magazine will find in the pages of this special issue a great deal of interesting information on the ancient and yet always young art of China, and on the main museums of the Celestial Empire.
