China–Egypt Cultural Spotlight
At the invitation of the Egyptian government, Sun Yeli—Chinese President Xi Jinping's Special Envoy and Minister of Culture and Tourism—will attend the opening ceremony of the Grand Egyptian Museum on November 1.
Days before the opening, a view of the Pyramid of Khafre at the Giza Plateau (October 30, 2025) reminded visitors of Egypt’s timeless heritage.
The museum, set against the backdrop of the iconic Pyramids of Giza, represents a milestone in global cultural exchange. Located near the Plateau of Giza, it will showcase centuries of Egyptian history and art.
For young global citizens and travelers, the event highlights new opportunities for immersive tourism and deepens ties between two ancient civilizations with modern ambitions. Experts say this collaboration could inspire future joint projects in sustainable heritage preservation and tech-driven museum experiences.
As the world watches, the ceremony is expected to attract cultural leaders, tech innovators, and tourism professionals who see such landmarks as catalysts for cross-cultural dialogue and economic growth.
