Peng calls for strengthening exchanges
China and Egypt share many cultural similarities, Peng Liyuan, wife of President Xi Jinping, said on Wednesday, adding that she hopes artists from the two countries will strengthen exchanges and cooperation to allow traditional crafts to continue to shine with renewed vitality through inheritance and mutual learning.
Peng made the remarks while chatting over tea and visiting a small handicrafts exhibition in Cairo, the capital of Egypt, with Entissar El-Sisi, wife of Egyptian President Abdel Fattah El-Sisi.
Peng had a cordial exchange with Entissar El-Sisi on China-Egypt friendship and people-to-people exchanges. Egypt has a long history and a profound cultural heritage, Peng said, noting that the exquisite exhibits fully showcase the wisdom and unique aesthetic sensibilities of the Egyptian people.
