This year's Expo will set up a Forum on Cooperation and Innovative Development of the Eastern and Western Cultural Industries, focusing on the opportunities and paths for cooperation between western provinces, regions, and cities and strong cultural provinces in the east, and jointly exploring new ways of communication and cooperation in the Eastern and Western cultural industries. Experts say that the next step is for the East and West to achieve cultural and tourism resource sharing, complementary advantages, and mutual benefit through various channels such as project support, talent support, financial assistance, employment cooperation, and visits and exchanges.
