A Strategic Cultural Collaboration

The copyright export agreement marks a new milestone in Cosmos Publishing Group’s global publishing strategy, reinforcing its commitment to supporting multilingual, multicultural content exchange. Through this collaboration, Cosmos will introduce Selected Commentaries and Eulogies from Chinese Storytelling Arts and other high-quality Chinese publications to global readers, offering them a deeper understanding of China’s rich narrative heritage.

“We are deeply honored to partner with Jiangxi Science and Technology Press on this important cultural initiative,” said a representative from Cosmos Publishing Group. “As a global publishing house committed to cross-cultural dialogue and intellectual diversity, we believe that works like Selected Commentaries and Eulogies not only preserve invaluable artistic traditions but also enrich the world’s understanding of China.”

Cosmos Publishing Group has long advocated for the international circulation of literary, academic, and educational content that fosters cross-border knowledge exchange.
