At the 8th Silk Road (Dunhuang) International Cultural Expo, Egyptian hydrogeologist Mohamed Saleh Mohamed Youssef Shama of Cairo’s Ministry of Water Resources and Irrigation highlighted the enduring bonds between the Chinese mainland and Egypt. Against the backdrop of this flagship cultural gathering, Shama emphasized that both civilizations share core values of ethics and morality.
Drawing on centuries of cross-continental exchange, he argued that sustainable progress hinges on mutual benefit and win-win cooperation. "Countries that embrace shared goals can unlock new pathways for innovation, environmental stewardship and social development," he added, resonating with young global citizens and entrepreneurs eyeing partnerships across borders.
Shama’s remarks underscore a broader trend: as emerging markets and tech hubs seek deeper ties, cultural diplomacy remains a key catalyst for real-world impact. His call for cooperation invites travelers, changemakers, and digital nomads to engage in immersive exchanges that transcend borders and drive inclusive growth.
