Peng Liyuan, wife of Chinese President Xi Jinping, paid a visit to the National Museum of Serbia with Tamara Vucic, the wife of Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic, in Belgrade on Wednesday morning.
The wives of the two heads of state appreciated the museum's vast collection of masterpieces, with Peng saying she was impressed by the museum's long history, rich collection, and classic paintings with fine brushwork and delicate emotions.
Noting that a museum serves as not only a window for the protection and display of cultural relics, but also as a palace to promote civilization, Peng hopes that China and Serbia will strengthen cultural exchanges and cooperation and jointly build a bridge for dialogue among civilizations.
During their tour, Peng and Vucic were also invited to a demonstration of Serbian women's hand-knitting and other traditional skills, and had cordial exchanges with the artisans.
Peng said that Serbian hand-knitting is an important intangible cultural heritage featuring exquisite skills and unique characteristics, which has been well inherited and carried forward.
Noting the similarities between the embroidery cultures of China and Serbia, Peng said she hopes the two countries will strengthen exchanges and mutual learning, and encourage their respective young people to actively participate, so that these traditional handicraft skills can be passed on from generation to generation.
The two then tried their hand at making traditional Serbian felt balls amid a jovial atmosphere before concluding their visit.
Founded in 1844, the National Museum of Serbia boasts a rich collection of over 400,000 artifacts, which makes it the largest and the oldest museum institution in Serbia.
