A number of Egyptian artists as well as delegations from Japan and China attended the fair. Director of the Ministry's fine arts sector, Khaled Sorour asserted that such fairs give opportunities for the Egyptian audience to know artistic and cultural trends related to countries of extended civilization and history.
