Top Chinese and Ecuadorean cultural ambassadors said on Wednesday they hope that new Chinese books translated into Spanish will help cultivate a better understanding of Chinese culture, politics and history among Ecuador's people.

Ecuador has an important place in Spanish-language literature, presenting many notable authors, and the book exhibition - also brings noted Chinese authors, said Huang Kunming, executive deputy head of the Publicity Department of the Communist Party of China Central Committee.

Spanish-language versions of titles such as The Literature of China, The Political System of China and The Encyclopedia of Chinese Culture will give readers a sense of Chinese politics, economics and culture, Huang said at the Month of the Exhibition and Sale of Chinese Books in Quito, Ecuador.
