Cultural exchanges between the Chinese mainland and Hong Kong have developed well since Hong Kong returned to the motherland in 1997, Ding Wei, vice minister of culture, said Sunday. 

Cultural exchanges between the mainland and Hong Kong have become more close, rich and sound, forming an all-dimensional, wide-ranging and multi-channel communication pattern, Ding said ahead of the region's 20th anniversary of return.

"The exchanges have promoted Chinese culture in Hong Kong and enhanced Hong kong's recognition of the country, the nation and Chinese culture," Ding said.
