Egypt’s Minister of Culture signs cooperation agreement with Jordanian counterpart until 2023
Egypt’s Minister of Culture Inas Abdel Dayem, and Jordan's
Minister of Culture Haifa Al-Najjar, signed a cultural and artistic cooperation
agreement in the presence of Sherif Kamel, Egypt's ambassador to Jordan, and
Hazza Al-Barari, secretary-general of the Jordanian Ministry of Culture, at the
Royal Cultural Center.
The cooperation agreement includes an executive program
between the two sides for the years 2021-2023, aiming to support and enhance
the distinguished bilateral relations in various fields, and to complement the
implementation of the cooperation agreements concluded between the two
brotherly countries in Amman in the 1980’s.
Abdel Dayem said that the bilateral relations between Egypt
and Jordan have deep roots, reflecting President Abdel Fattah El-Sisi's and
King Abdullah II's common vision of the importance of supporting and developing
cultural relations between the two countries. She added that the cooperation
aims to invest in the two countries' historical ties to create more cultural
blending between the two brotherly peoples through their soft powers.
Moreover, Abdel Dayem stressed that the creative and
reciprocal fields included in the cooperation protocol work to present various
forms of artistic and intellectual movement to members of the Egyptian and
Jordanian societies.
For her part, Haifa Al-Najjar expressed her happiness with
concluding this protocol, which comes at the beginning of her duties as the
Jordanian Minister of Culture.
