PCAH Hosts Chinese Minister of Culture
Following from a successful visit to China in 2007, the PCAH has hosted China's Minister of Culture in the USA to develop further exchanges.
Last June the President's Committee on the Arts and the Humanities (PCAH) and Chairman Adair Margo made an historic visit to the People’s Republic of China. The dialogue and relationships begun there sparked a recent visit to the United States by Sun Jiazheng, China's minister of culture. He participated in PCAH’s 'Coming Up Taller' ceremony at the White House on 28 January. Following the ceremony, Dr. James Billington, Librarian of Congress, noted that the discussions in China last summer were very fruitful, and he was looking forward to further collaboration on making cultural resources accessible to broader audiences through digital technology.
The PCAH will pursue more opportunities in the coming year to broaden cultural ties with China, beginning with an delegation to China in the summer.
