Natalia Shipovskaya, President of the Russian National Academy of Arts, stated in her speech that cultural exchanges between Russia and China follow each other's traditions and continuously learn from each other, which is an important foundation for artistic and research exchanges between Russia and China. She hoped and wished that the exchange of print art between Russia and China would yield more brilliant results.

Xu Yuxiao, Director and Professor of the Printmaking Department at the Xi'an Academy of Fine Arts, said "a stone from another mountain can be used for jade carving''. The external perspective of Russian artists is crucial for deepening Chinese artists' understanding of their own cultural traditions and national characteristics, thereby achieving true creative transformation and innovative development in painting.
