implement the Belt and Road Initiative. Beijing, as the capital of China, is a tourist destination of global
appeal. Beijing is both one
ancient capital with over thousands of years of history and one
open and inclusive cosmopolitan city. Cao welcomed more Russian
friends to Beijing to experience
the city's international style, ancient charm, oriental presence
and fashionable feel.
Tihnenko, head of Moscow Tourism Bureau, said Moscow and Beijing are capitals of two great countries
and brother cities. He expected the two sides to seize the
opportunities of the Belt and Road Initiative to deepen bilateral
tourism cooperation to promote people-to-people exchanges.
China's capital Beijing boasts deep historical and cultural
background, ever-changing urban landscape and unique tourism
resources, which are of great appeal to the rest of the world. At
present, Beijing is committed to
building a world-class harmonious livable capital, developing the
city's subsidiary administrative center and preparing for the 2022
Winter Olympics. Thus urban traffic is becoming more convenient,
urban management more efficient, urban service more sophisticated.
Beijing welcomes Russian friends
to travel to Beijing for
sightseeing and leisure.
