"2017 happens to be the 40th anniversary of establishing diplomatic relations between China and Jordan. Four decades have witnessed the development of our relationship and closer cooperation. The Chinese government is preparing to set up a Chinese Culture Center in Jordan to promote mutual understanding. The seminar will further our dialogue through literature and contribute to mutual culture development," Pan said.
