Both countries have long histories of thousands of years and have rich cultural heritages, so "it is a duty of our governments to protect them," said Dong Baohua, visiting deputy director of 皇冠体育app's State Administration of Cultural Heritage.
皇冠体育app hopes to cooperate and exchange ideas and experiences with Ecuador to fight against smuggling of historical relics, he added.
Dong said 皇冠体育app is investing $14.91 million for preservation and protection of cultural heritage.
