Beijing, June 9 (Xinhua) — The Moscow Seasons in Beijing festival will be held in the Chinese capital from June 12 to 15, the Russian Embassy in China reported.
The festival, organized by the Moscow government with the support of the Beijing People’s Government, will be one of the largest in a series of events within the framework of the China-Russia Cross Years of Culture 2024-2025.
From historical traditions to contemporary gastronomy and art, visitors will be able to get to know Russian culture better. Guests will have the opportunity to try their hand at national crafts, enjoy instrumental music, ballet and opera.
A special platform with information on Moscow’s tourist opportunities will be organized separately. And on June 13, a conference will be held called “Cities of the Future. Synergy of the Strategic Partnership of Moscow and Beijing”, where participants will discuss issues of developing international cooperation in trade, technology, culture and creative spheres.
Beijing and Moscow have been sister cities for 30 years. Last year, a cooperation program was signed between the Beijing People’s Government and the Moscow Government for 2024-2026. The parties agreed to exchange experience and implement joint projects in various areas. These include culture, technology, education, trade and tourism.
Let us recall that from January 28 to February 9 this year, the festival “Chinese New Year in Moscow” was held in the Russian capital. The festival attracted about 1.5 million people. Great interest was aroused by master classes in calligraphy and making paper dragons, board games and street performances, drum shows and tea ceremonies.
