BEIJING (Reuters) - China and South Korea agreed to carry out cultural exchanges in an orderly manner, the Chinese foreign ministry said on Tuesday 6 January 2026, when asked if Beijing would welcome South Korean culture exports in the future.
South Korean President Lee Jae Myung met with Chinese President Xi Jinping in Beijing on Monday 5 January 2026, seeking to restore ties between the two neighbours.
The two countries would "gradually" increase exchanges of cultural content and hold working-level talks on movies, dramas and others, Wi Sung-lac, Lee's security adviser, told a press briefing after the leaders' summit.
