Beijing (CNS) -- China will be the guest of honor this year at Saudi Arabia's Janadriya Festival, the country's top national festival for heritage and culture.


Actor Jackie Chan will serve as the Chinese cultural ambassador for the event.


The festival is held annually to showcase the past and present Saudi Arabia, and is the most attended event in the country.


Being the 28th session of the event, the festival will provide an opportunity to improve relations between Saudi Arabia and China in the political, economic and cultural areas.


At a press conference on Monday, Jackie Chan said he was willing to play an active part in the event and contribute to the spreading of Chinese culture to friends in Saudi Arabia.


Under the theme "Brilliant China," this year's Janadriyah Festival will feature outdoor shows, exhibitions, and cultural symposiums. A total of 200 people from 15 Chinese exhibitors will attend.


Time-honored brands including Chinese pharmaceutical company Tong Ren Tang and tea company Wu Yu Tai will also attend the exhibitions at the China pavilion.


The event will be held from April 3 and April 19.
