Sino-Foreign Literature Translation & Publishing Workshop

The first Sino-Foreign Literature Translation & Publishing Workshop (SFLTP) was launched by the Ministry of Culture in 2014 and has been held four times since then.

The workshop aims to deepen the intellectual and cultural exchanges between China and foreign countries, strengthen the bonds and mutual learning between peoples and civilizations, promote in-depth cooperation, expertise sharing and project collaboration between Chinese and foreign experts and cultural institutions in the field of literature, publishing and translation.

The SFLTP2017 workshop, including a series of visits, translators' salons and seminars, was held in August. It brought together a total of 46 foreign writers, translators, publishers and critics in related fields to discuss with their Chinese peers ways to improve Chinese literature translation and publishing.
