      Beijing Library opens classic literature museum to public

      Beijing Library officially opened its classic literature museum to the public on Friday, to mark the first anniversary of the library's opening.

      The museum, integrating a new "reading + museum" experience, showcases over 110 precious documents from its collection, allowing visitors to explore the cultural memory of the city through ancient texts.

      Over the past year, Beijing Library has established several venues over the past year, including a children's pavilion, an intangible cultural heritage literature museum, and a local literature museum, attracting over 3.7 million visits throughout the year. 

      The library was declared the winner of the Public Library of the Year Award 2024 by the International Federation of Library Associations and Institutions (IFLA) in October, marking the first time that a Chinese library has been awarded this highest honor in the global public library community.

      "We hope to make reading accessible to everyone, and hope that learning knowledge will be more interesting. At the same time, we aim to deeply integrate cultural tourism, technology and art to turn our library into something akin to an urban meeting room with high quality," said Mao Yajun, director of the Beijing Library.

      A Chinese business delegation, organized by the China Council for the Promotion of International Trade (CCPIT), visited Qatar from Saturday to Monday to boost bilateral economic and trade ties and promote mutually beneficial cooperation.

      The visit featured extensive talks between the delegation led by CCPIT Vice President Yu Jianlong and Qatari officials and business leaders, including those from the Investment Promotion Agency Qatar (Invest Qatar) and QatarEnergy, and resulted in several cooperation agreements.

      The delegation briefed Qatari political and business figures on China's economic outlook and its latest opening-up measures.

      It voiced readiness to scale up practical business and industrial cooperation between the two countries, actively deepen and consolidate the Belt and Road cooperation, and strengthen bilateral cooperation within such frameworks as the China-Arab States Summit.

      It also welcomed the Qatari business community to participate in the third China International Supply Chain Expo to be held in Beijing from July 16 to 20 to deepen bilateral industrial and supply chain cooperation.

      "Qatar's largest trading partner currently is China. The relationship both politically and on a trade basis is very strong. China can plug into all of these sectors because of its strong ecosystem and its long history of hyper scaling strong businesses," said Fahad Ali Al Kuwari, senior manager of investor relations team of Invest Qatar.
