"The Charming China-Guangdong Culture Week event allows Guangdong to better display the unique charm of the Lingnan culture and further the cultural exchanges and people-to-people ties between China and South Korea," he noted.

Fu continued to say that Guangdong is doing its utmost to advance the development of the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area and to enhance the opening-up to a higher level, which will certainly bring new opportunities to the exchanges and cooperation between Guangdong and South Korea.

As vanguard of China's reform and opening-up and economic powerhouse, Guangdong has close cultural exchanges and highly complementary economic structure with South Korea, said Wang Luxin, the minister counselor.

Guangdong is an important window for Sino-Korea exchanges and cooperation, Wang said, the culture week is hoped to further display Guangdong's splendid culture and development achievements, enhance the province's exchanges with South Korea in multiple aspects and improve people-to-people relation between China and South Korea.
