CGTN: Tea, Tunes and Ties: China-Germany Cultural Exchanges Flourish
Peng said cultural and education ties with Germany are extensive as the two first ladies watched a short film on people-to-people exchanges.
- On Friday, Peng Liyuan, wife of Chinese President Xi Jinping, hosted Elke Budenbender, wife of German President Frank-Walter Steinmeier, for a tea reception in Beijing during Steinmeier's state visit to China.
- Peng emphasized the "rich and diverse" cultural and people-to-people exchanges between China and Germany, which now form a connected ecosystem spanning education, arts, and tourism beyond isolated events.
- Cultural initiatives include the Bonn-based Burg Chinese Chorus bringing 80 students to Yunnan and Gansu's tourism roadshow in Berlin, which drew more than 40 travel industry representatives, leveraging festivals to foster shared experiences.
- Budenbender thanked Peng for the hospitality, pledging to contribute to stronger bilateral cooperation, while Peng hoped citizens would "visit each other more often, continuously deepen mutual understanding and foster closer people-to-people bonds."
- China's visa-free policy for German citizens, extended through 2026, simplifies two-way travel and supports these deepening ties; institutions like the Leibniz Confucius Institute in Hanover continue drawing German students through summer camps and language-partner programs.
