Celebrations marking 50 years of Sino-French relations

2014 marked the 50th anniversary of Sino-French diplomatic relations. In those 50 years, China and France carried out exchanges in many fields, including politics, the economy and culture. On the occasion of the “golden” anniversary between the two countries, China and France have decided to further deepen exchanges and cooperation in the fields of culture and education and step up contacts between students.

The year 2014 saw a number of cultural activities to celebrate Sino-French relations, including exhibitions, forums, concerts and film festivals, which gave more impetus to relations between the two countries.
