The third Sino-French Cultural Forum will be held in Xi'an, capital of northwestern Shaanxi province, from Sept. 17 to 20, aiming to promote cultural exchanges and mutual learning between the two countries.
Initiated by former French prime minister Jean-Pierre Raffarin and Chen Zhu, president of the Western Returned Scholars Association, the forum was first hosted by Beijing in 2016 and last year in the French city of Lyon, inviting experts in the cultural, arts, education, technology and economic sectors to share their insights.
This year, the forum will include several panel discussions on subjects such as protection of cultural heritage, cooperation in education, cultural tourism, and brand cultivation, which are being organized by the Western Returned Scholars Association, the Foundation for Innovation and Future Technologies (Fondation pour la Prospective et l'Innovation), and the China France Cultural Research Center. Cultural and art exhibitions will also be staged as part of the event.
The Chinese cities of Wuhan in Hubei, Urumqi in Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region, Suzhou in Jiangsu and Quanzhou in Fujian will take part in the event, along with French cities including Nice and Lyon.
