With the rapid development of China, said Artamonov, Chinese culture has correspondingly been become more and more influential, and currently cultural exchanges between Russia and China were steadily deepening along with the comprehensive development of bilateral friendly ties.
Confucius and Laozi as the outstanding symbols of Chinese culture, their statues that settled in the Kaluga Region would indubitably receive hearty welcome from locals and people all across Russia, said the governor.
