The Egyptian Minister of Culture, Ahmed Fouad Hano, stated at the end of the month before last, on the occasion of the 82nd anniversary of diplomatic relations between Egypt and Russia, that the significant cultural exchange between the two countries has been ongoing and extensive for many decades.

The Egyptian minister, responding to a question about the possibility of a cultural boom paralleling the economic and trade boom between the countries, explained that there is a notable activation in hosting Russian ensembles, especially musicians, as well as writers, poets, and cultural activists from the Russian side.

He noted that Egypt also oversees the activation of culture, playing a pivotal role and collaborating very closely with the Russian side in these cultural, artistic, and knowledge domains.
