China, ASEAN launch joint initiative to develop cultural, tourism exchanges

The forum, formerly known as the "China-ASEAN Cultural Forum," has been successfully held in Guangxi for 18 sessions and serves as a high-level exchange platform for China and ASEAN in the cultural and people-to-people fields.

Since the beginning of this year, Guangxi cultural and tourism delegations have visited ASEAN countries such as Malaysia, Singapore, Thailand, and Vietnam to carry out cultural exchanges and tourism promotion activities. Guangxi has become an important hub for Chinese tourists traveling to ASEAN and a popular destination for ASEAN tourists to experience Chinese culture.
