Recently, a gathering of over a thousand teachers and students from various universities took place at the Egyptian Chinese University (ECU) to celebrate UN Chinese Language Day. The event was organized by the Chinese Embassy in Egypt, China’s Center for Language Education and Cooperation, ECU, and the Africa Office of Sinopec. It featured a display of both Chinese and Arabic cultures.
The celebration included bilingual calligraphy showcasing the beauty of each language. Additionally, attendees experienced Chinese paintings, cuisine, tea art, and traditional music. A notable attraction was the torches from the 2022 Beijing Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games, developed with Sinopec's involvement in research and development. These drew significant attention as many stopped to take photos.
Sinopec has expressed its ongoing commitment to enhancing cooperation with African countries and promoting cultural exchange between China and Egypt.
