A word from
His Excellency, ZHAO JinJun
|
| |
France is a country with a long history and rich culture. Hence it has
become the most well known country in the world for its historical and
cultural heritage such as the Eiffel Tower , Notre-Dame de Paris, the
Louvre, Versailles , etc. |
|
From October 2003 to September 2005, for the first time in Chinese and
French history, a cultural Year was inaugurated; it definitively seals
the exchanges between the two countries; thus bringing the two peoples
closer together. On 1 st September 2004 , the Chinese people came to
visit Europe ; the pilot group arrived in Paris , providing the sign of
a new chapter in the history of Chinese tourism in Europe .
Tourism is an industry and a cultural exchange. It is different peoples
sharing ideas and feelings, as the Chinese proverb says,
“reading ten thousand books and walking ten thousand
kilometres (from wanjuan shu, xing wanli lu)”. I am convinced
that Chinese tourists will come to discover France ; they will enjoy it
and thus strengthen the understanding and friendship between the
Chinese and French peoples.
Convinced by this belief I would like to wish my Chinese compatriots an
extremely enjoyable visit to France . |
