Throughout the year, numerous exhibitions and accompanying events took place in Dresden and Beijing – a high-ranking joint venture in terms of cultural and foreign policy, as indicated by the patronage of the respective heads of state of China and Germany and by the visits of both countries’ Foreign Ministers to the exhibitions in Beijing. At the same time, the “China in Dresden in China” year paved the way for future events. In 2009 and 2010, for example, new major projects are to take place in Beijing which will undoubtedly also have long-term effects on the intensification of cultural relations and the promotion of mutual understanding. The high status of the “China-Year” was immediately evident at the opening event. On 28 February 2008, a discussion on the subject of “Our neighbour China” took place between two prominent figures who have played important roles in recent German history and politics and who are both highly regarded across party boundaries at both national and international level. “Gerhard Richter” exhibition at the National Art Museum of China, Beijing Helmut Schmidt is a great German statesman who has played a decisive role in shaping the history of the Federal Republic of Germany, including in the role of Federal Minister and, from 1974 to 1982, as Federal Chancellor. He discussed the subject of China with Prof. Dr. Kurt Biedenkopf, who has also made major contributions to the common weal in a succession of offices and functions at both federal state and national level, not least in his role as the long-serving Prime Minister of the Free State of Saxony. Among other things, they are associated through their involvement in the Deutsche Nationalstiftung (German National Foundation), of which the former Federal Chancellor is patron and honorary chairman. Kurt Biedenkopf holds the chair of the Foundation Senate. Even after their retirement from political office, they both continue their tireless political and social engagement. The “China in Dresden in China” year was launched by two politicians, intellectuals and publicists who are seen as authorities both by the population at large and by current holders of political office on account of their comprehensive knowledge and experience, their outstanding political and economic expertise, their straight-forward and astute analyses. Their advice is sought after. They are appreciated for their life-long achievements because they have promoted their country’s prosperity and well-being. An indication of this appreciation was the immense degree of public interest in this opening event. It was originally planned to hold it in the “Riesensaal” (Grand Hall) of the Residenzschloss, which is not exactly small, but demand on the part of the people of Dresden was so great that it had to be transferred to the International Congress
