In addition, the delegates visited the high-tech industrial park to learn about China's advancements in technology and innovation.

The visit also included participation in Shaaxi charestristics large-scale activities, which gave the delegates a firsthand experience of the local culture and traditions.

The CMCA aims to promote cultural exchange and cooperation between China and the Maldives, and the cultural exchange visit was part of its ongoing efforts to strengthen ties between the two countries.
