A two-day art exhibition entitled "Chinese Style: International Touring Exhibition of Modern Chinese Water-Ink Paintings" kicked off in Nepal on Monday, featuring over 50 art pieces by Chinese artists on various themes.
The exhibition, jointly organized by China Cultural Center in Nepal and China National Academy of Painting, is being held at Nepal Art Council in Kathmandu.
The event was jointly inaugurated by Nepal's former Culture, Tourism and Civil Aviation Minister Ananda Pokharel and representatives of the Chinese embassy in Nepal.
"Such cross-country cultural events are important to strengthen the friendship between two countries and to boost people to people relations," Pokharel said while addressing the ceremony.
Stating that Nepal and China share similar culture, values and tradition, the former minister said that the paintings will enable Nepali people to understand Chinese history, culture and civilization.
