Janice Linz, the director of the Jimei Museum in France, said that the signing of a memorandum of cooperation between the Jimei Museum and the Dunhuang Research Institute is a new starting point for deepening exchanges and cooperation. The cooperation project between both parties has great prospects and many rich innovative points. We hope that both parties can jointly establish a guiding committee, strengthen communication and coordination, standardize and guide future work, and promote the continuous creation of new achievements in the cooperation project. In 1900, the Dunhuang scripture cave, known as the "key to unlocking medieval world history," was discovered. More than 60000 Dunhuang relics, mainly composed of documents, have been scattered around the world since their reappearance and are stored in dozens of collection institutions in China, Britain, France, Russia, Japan, and other countries. There has been a lack of a complete joint catalog for a long time. In 2015, over 4000 Dunhuang manuscripts that had been lost to France returned to Dunhuang in digital form for the first time. Compared to the large number of Dunhuang manuscripts that had been lost overseas, the number of these "returns" was limited, but it had epoch-making significance. In recent years, the Dunhuang Research Institute has had intensive exchanges with research institutions in countries such as the United Kingdom, France, Italy, the United States, Japan, and India, and has signed a series of cooperation agreements. The Dunhuang Research Institute is a research institution responsible for the protection and management of the world cultural heritage the Mogao Grottoes of Dunhuang, Tianshui Maiji Mountain, Yongjing Bingling Temple and other six grottoes. It is China's largest cultural and museum institution managing the world cultural heritage with the largest number of cross regional scope, and the world's largest Dunhuang Studies research entity.
