Li Hui noted that the Ming Dynasty was characterized by a booming economy, splendid culture and frequent international exchanges. It's exactly in this time period, over 400 years ago, that China started to establish contacts with Russia.
"Today's exhibition is an important humanitarian exchange event between China and Russia, and I hope museums in both countries will further deepen communication. The Chinese Embassy in Russia will remain committed to supporting and promoting the humanitarian cooperation between the two countries," Li added.
A press conference for the exhibition also was held the same day at the Moscow Kremlin Museums.
The exhibition runs through July 25, during which time many lectures on the politics, history, culture, art and poetry of the Ming Dynasty will be held.
