Since the establishment of the diplomatic relations between China and India in 1950, the two countries have kept frequent contacts in cultural exchanges and personnel visits. Lots of cultural activities such as art exhibitions and film weeks have been held in each other's countries. In 1988, China and India signed the Cultural Cooperative Agreement, which stipulated that Executive Programme of the Cultural Agreement between two governments would be signed every triennium. The same year during the Indian Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi's visit to China, the Executive Programme of the Cultural Agreement for 1988-1990 was signed between China and India. In 1992 and in 1994 respectively, China and India successively held large-scale art festivals in each other's country, and the cultural exchanges between the two countries has reached a high tide. The exchange visits of high-level personnel have increased constantly. With the restoration and development of the bilateral relations ever since 1999, the cultural exchanges between China and India have become increasingly frequent.
