TEHRAN -- An exhibition of selected works of Chinese art and culture is underway here.
The exhibition showcases a collection of cultural exchange achievements between China and Iran along the Silk Road. It includes paintings created by Chinese artists, manuscripts by renowned Chinese authors, and ancient coins used in Silk Road trade.
China and Iran, as two of the world’s ancient civilizations, had been communicating with each other through the Silk Road since a long time ago, Chinese Ambassador to Iran Cong Peiwu said at the opening ceremony, noting that such historical ties have created a solid foundation for the two countries’ present cultural exchanges.
The successful holding of the exhibition will inject new vitality into cultural exchanges between China and Iran, providing more support for the deepening of friendship between the two countries, according to the ambassador.
Director of the Malek National Library and Museum Amir Khorakian said that the long distance between the two countries did not hinder communications and relations between the Iranian and Chinese peoples, expressing hope for more bilateral cultural exchanges in the future.
The exhibition will continue until Nov. 10 at the Malek National Library and Museum
