UAE and China cement cultural ties and look forward to enhanced collaboration
A cultural exchange between UAE and China will
consolidate bilateral ties and promote cultural diplomacy as a pillar for
mutual understanding and awareness at a time when building relationships and
encouraging global collaboration is needed more than ever.
UAE-China Culture Week, held virtually over
five days, will celebrate the solid bilateral relationship that dates back more
than 30 years, and includes a panel session on ‘Expo and Museum Culture: From
Shanghai to Dubai’.
Host of its own hugely successful Expo 2010 in
Shanghai and home of the World Expo Museum, China appreciates the power of
World Expos as platforms for mutual cooperation and understanding that can
bring lasting positive global impact.
China is also an enthusiastic supporter of
Expo 2020 Dubai, which will play a crucial role in bringing the world together
when it opens in October 2021, welcoming more than 190 countries, strengthening
existing connections, and creating new bonds.
Maha Al Gargawi, Vice President, Political
Affairs, Expo 2020 Dubai and a participant in the panel, said: “With the world
seeking to rebuild and recover amid challenging times, cross-cultural exchange
has never been more important. As we celebrate the fruitful cultural ties
between China and the UAE, we look forward to strengthening our connection and
collaboration at Expo 2020 Dubai.”
The next
World Expo will offer countries a platform to showcase their history,
achievements, cultures and ambitions, including China, whose impressive
lantern-shaped pavilion will enable visitors to explore its heritage of
invention and innovation as well as some of its incredible scientific
achievements and future-shaping technologies.
