Khinstein: the Kursk delegation has established cooperation with the province of Liaoning of China

The head of the Kursk region Alexander Khinshtein reported on the results of the meeting of the Kursk delegation with the leadership of the Chinese province of Liaoning. Within the framework of the visit to the friendly country, organized with the participation of the Consulate General of the Russian Federation in Shenyang, negotiations were held with the Chairman of the People's Political Consultative Council of Zhou Bo Province.

The Chinese side shows interest in our region, primarily due to the Kursk magnetic anomaly. The prospects for industrial and economic partnership were discussed, but the parties agreed to expand cooperation in the educational, cultural, tourist and humanitarian spheres, the governor said.

In particular, agreements were reached on tour exchanges between theater groups. The Kursk Drama Theatre, one of the oldest in Russia, received an invitation to perform in Shenyang, and the Kursk audience will get acquainted with the famous ballet troupe of the province, whose productions “Swan Lake” and “The Nutcracker” are especially popular.

It is also proposed to organize joint exhibition projects, within which unique funds of Kursk museums and the Deineka art gallery will be presented.

Special attention was paid to the experience of Liaoning Province in supporting the older generation. The region successfully operates universities for the elderly, offering a wide range of educational programs and leisure activities. The Kursk region plans to adopt this practice for the implementation of the Kursk Longevity project, aiming to become the first Russian region to establish such cooperation with China.

During the negotiations, the idea of creating a Chinese exhibition center in Kursk, where partner companies will be represented, was born. The Chinese side expressed its readiness to assist in organizing business missions next year, Alexander Khinshtein said.
