Cultural cooperation has continued to be a driving force of China-Egypt relations. 

In early April, a series of cultural events were held in Cairo, showcasing performances and exhibitions by artists from both countries. They enchanted audiences with beautiful melodies and artwork. 

One of the highlights of the cultural events was a folk music concert held against the backdrop of the Great Pyramids and Sphinx.

Musicians from the China National Traditional Orchestra played classics and innovative works of traditional Chinese music. The concert also featured four Egyptian artists who sang a song they had performed at China Media Group’s 2023 China Spring Festival Gala in Beijing, accompanied by Chinese folk music.

Demiana Tadrous, a performer at the CMG 2023 Spring Festival Gala, said that she was really honored to participate in the prestigious cultural event, and was also very happy to be part of the Spring Festival Gala celebration.

She was among the first Egyptians to perform at the gala. Her presence is testament to the close relationship between China and Egypt, as the two countries achieve deeper mutual cultural understanding.

An exhibit was also held at the Palace of Arts in Cairo, featuring 87 paintings and ceramic pieces by Chinese and Arab artists. The works reflect many aspects of life and nature in China and Egypt.

The exhibition formed part of the “Silk Road Artists’ Rendezvous” program initiated by China’s Ministry of Culture and Tourism in 2009. Over 100 artists from 22 Arab states participated in the program and contributed 487 works.
