I myself have been to many parts of China, including Shanxi, Yunnan, Anhui and Shanghai. Each place has its own unique and interesting features. As Ambassador of Uzbekistan to China, I see many similarities and common features in our culture, history and traditions. For me, it's really interesting to see these commonalities.
