Peng Liyuan, wife of Chinese President Xi Jinping, and Agata Kornhauser-Duda, Poland’s first lady, shared a cultural rendezvous at Beijing’s National Center for the Performing Arts (NCPA) this week. The visit, part of Polish President Andrzej Duda’s state trip to China, highlighted the power of art in bridging global communities. 🌏✨
The duo explored an exhibition showcasing Beijing’s intangible cultural heritage, marveling at intricate craftsmanship 🎨. Peng emphasized the deep historical roots of both nations, noting that thriving cultural exchanges have strengthened mutual understanding. “Friendship grows when cultures connect,” she remarked.
Later, they enjoyed a vibrant mix of performances: traditional Chinese folk melodies, Peking Opera highlights, and piano pieces blending Sino-Polish influences 🎶. Agata praised the shows, calling Chinese traditions “wonderful and impressive,” and voiced hopes for deeper bilateral collaboration.
With cross-cultural diplomacy stealing the spotlight, this visit underscores how art transcends borders—one melody (or dumpling-shaped porcelain) at a time. 🇨🇳🤝🇵🇱
