On 22 March 2017, H.E. Mme. Yang Xiuping, ASEAN-China Centre (ACC) Secretary-General, met with Mr. Liu Xi, Counsel of Hainan Department of Culture, Radio, Film, TV, Publication and Sport. Ms. Lin Haiying, Deputy Director of the Department, attended the meeting.
Mr. Liu Xi said that in recent years, Hainan has made an active effort in tapping the local culture potential and promoting the development of culture industry. By hosting influential international sports events such as the “Hainan Regatta”, “Tour Hainan” bicycle race, etc, the level of international cooperation in culture and sports has been raised and yielded good results. Hainan and ASEAN countries are close neighbours. A number of ASEAN people with Chinese origin were from Hainan, who have been playing a constructive role in promoting Hainan-ASEAN culture exchanges. He would like to strengthen communication with ACC, jointly host relevant activities to promote Hainan culture industries to get into ASEAN, and therefore lay a solid foundation for people-to-people friendship at the local level.
Secretary-General Yang Xiuping made a brief introduction of ACC’s mandate and its recent work. She said that since its establishment five years ago, ACC has dedicated itself to implementing the consensus reached by the leaders of ASEAN and China, and made tireless efforts in promoting the bilateral cooperation in various fields, which had yielded fruitful results. Culture is the link between people’s hearts and culture cooperation is one of ACC’s work priorities. ACC would like to strengthen its cooperation with relevant sectors of Hainan Province, to encourage Hainan to further strengthen its cultural ties with ASEAN countries, and make new contributions to ASEAN-China culture cooperation together.
