"In a big way, communication between different cultures is a must; for artists, constant participation in various exhibitions will promote artistic creation. They find the positioning of their own creation," he said.

After upgrading the relations between China and Egypt to a comprehensive strategic partnership in 2014, cultural exchange has been at its peak as artists, cultural and musical delegations have paid frequent visits.

Through such cultural moves, both countries want to boost friendly ties under the background of the Belt and Road Initiative which certainly promotes deeper understanding of each other and wake up the ancient civilization in the new era.

"Today's exhibition is very important for the cultural exchange between the two nations," Chinese Cultural Counselor to Egypt, Shi Yuewen, told Xinhua, adding that "the recent years witnessed an unprecedented cultural exchange between Egypt and China in many fields."
