The culinary exchange program aims to provide a platform for chefs, culinary artists, and enthusiasts from both countries to share techniques, traditions, and innovations.

Participants can expect a range of activities, including workshops, joint cooking sessions, and cultural tours, all designed to immerse them in the rich culinary landscapes of China and France. This initiative not only celebrates the art of cooking but also reinforces the enduring friendship and collaborative spirit between the two nations.
As part of CMG's ongoing efforts to promote cultural dialogue, this exchange program underscores the importance of food as a universal language that brings people together, fostering deeper connections and shared experiences.
