UAE's national museum highlights Sino-Arab links, cultural exchanges

Historical exchanges between China and the Arab world have profoundly fostered mutual understanding between East and West, and the wisdom gleaned from this process offers practical insights for civilizations to engage harmoniously, says a senior official from the United Arab Emirates.

Mohamed Khalifa Al Mubarak, chairman of Abu Dhabi's Department of Culture and Tourism, made the remarks as the Zayed National Museum — the UAE's national museum — opened to the public on Wednesday, one day after the country's 54th National Day.
