A promotion ceremony was held for the book "The Governance of China".

"The book is a key to understand the new Chinese generation of leaders and their governing strategy and to know where China has come from and where it is heading to," said Yan Xiaohong, deputy head of China's State Administration of Press, Publication, Radio, Film and Television (SAPPRFT).

Mihai Nagy, deputy director of the Romanian Cultural Institute, said that this book would interest readers because "it brings forward social, political and economic hypotheses such as the Silk Road, worth putting into practice again in our contemporary time."

Also on show is the book "Step by Step" by Klaus Iohannis, the Romanian president, which has been translated into Chinese by Dong Xixiao, a Romanian teacher at Beijing Foreign Studies University.

Tan Yue, president of the China Publishing Group, said "distance never hindered the Romanian-Chinese relations" and recent years have seen closer cultural ties between both countries.

He said he has extended invitation to Romanian publishers to participate in next Beijing book fair and to get to know more of the Chinese culture and to promote cultural exchanges.
