Two to tango

China prepares to move its feet to Latin music as a wide-ranging cultural program unfolds this year, Chen Nan reports.

The largest cultural exchange program ever between China and Latin America will be held soon with a series of events planned in China and 30 Latin American and Caribbean countries through the year, says Zhu Qi, deputy director of the Bureau for External Cultural Relations, an affiliate of China's Culture Ministry.

President Xi Jinping had proposed 2016 as the "year of cultural exchanges" between China and the Latin American and Caribbean countries two years ago while attending the China-Latin America and Caribbean Summit in Brasilia.
