Perm City Administration launches the Chinese version of its official web-site.
Today, October 1, 2009 the Perm City Administration launches its official web-site in the Chinese language. The Chinese version contains the information related to Perm City. It is important that this site covering history, economy and culture of Perm has also a separate page dedicated to Chinese people who lived in Perm and in the Perm Region in the 20th century. Visitors will find necessary contact information.
According to officials of Perm City Information Department, creation of this site version is an important step on the way to establish stronger cultural and economic links between Perm and the Chinese-speaking world. Some official web-sites of Russian municipalities do have Chinese versions, and we hope that Perm's new site page will enhance the investment attractiveness of the city not just in China but in other foreign countries as well. The version has been developed in liaison with Perm-China Society of Friendship and with Perm Branch of the Institute of History and Archeology of the Ural Division of the Russian Academy of Sciences.
"We are pleased that the Chinese factor in politics, economy and culture led to the creation of the Chinese page on the Perm City Administration official site. We are sure that it will significantly enliven diverse business and friendship contacts of our city with the "Celestial Empire", says Igor Veretennikov, the Chairman of Perm-China Friendship Society.
Previously the official web-site of Perm City Administration functioned only in two languages - Russian and English.
