Deputy Consul General Song indicated in his remarks that, Inner Mongolia established sister Province/State relations with California since 2000, and cultural exchange has been one of the most dynamic areas among their collaborations. The American Universal Culture Heritage Development Foundation has established long-term friendly cooperative relations with the Wulanmuqi. There is no doubt that the Fusion of Mongolia and Hollywood, to be presented in an American stage after its successive performing tours in 2010 and 2011 in China, will bring a brand-new feeling to the American audiences. China and United States are both countries with great cultures. China-US culture exchanges are shown to complement each other and have great potential for cooperation. In recent years, People-to-people exchange between China and United States has become an increasingly important part in China-US relations. This year, the Fusion of Mongolia and Hollywood performing tours in Northern California will definitely bring new momentum to the increasingly developed China-US people-to-people exchanges.
