China donates thousands of books to Turkish educational institutions and think tanks

On October 18, 2010, China's State Council Information Office presented several thousands books about Chinese politics, economy, culture and history as gifts to Turkish think tanks and educational institutions amid China's efforts to boost cultural communication with Turkey. The Ankara-based International Strategic Research Organization, Middle East Technical University, Ankara University and Jale Tezer College each accepted nearly 1,000 books. The books cover such subjects as literature, religion, economy and Chinese language education and record the long history and current development of China. The book presentation was part of the large-scale cultural event "Experience China in Turkey" held in Ankara and the Turkish city Istanbul. Aimed at promoting cultural communication and people's mutual understanding, the event covers nine major programs, such as the Chinese-Turkish political and economic forums, Chinese movie and television weeks, Chinese cuisine festival and exchanges between journalists and writers.
