The Month of Cultural Exchange features a variety of cultural and tourism promotional venues, cultural and artistic performances, food and cultural exchanges, as well as cooking experiences.

China and ROK boast a long history of exchanges. The establishment of diplomatic relations in 1992 was an important opportunity to further the ties between the two countries. Next year marks the 30th anniversary of the two sides' diplomatic relations and the China-South Korea Year of Cultural Exchange will be observed in 2021 and 2022.

Hong Sung-wook, Consul-General of the Republic of Korea in Guangzhou, hopes that this event in Guangzhou can become another new opportunity to promote more active exchanges between the two countries.
