South Korea and Egypt will mark the 30th anniversary of their diplomatic relations with a cultural and arts exchange symposium and performances at the American University in Cairo (AUC) on April 30, 2025.
The event, themed "5,000 Years of Civilizational Dialogue," will take place from 2:00 PM to 5:30 PM at AUC's Oriental Hall. It aims to foster deeper mutual understanding and long-term cultural cooperation between the two countries, organisers said.
Hosted by South Korea's Ministry of Culture, Sports, and Tourism, in collaboration with the Korea Foundation for International Cultural Exchange (KOFICE) and the Federation of Artistic and Cultural Organizations of Korea, the event is jointly organised with the Embassy of the Republic of Korea in Egypt. The stated goal is to deepen cultural and artistic exchanges and establish a sustainable foundation for cooperation among artists.
The event comprises three parts: the "Dialogue of Five Thousand Years of Civilization" symposium, the "Cairo Arts Declaration," and a "Colorful Korea" celebration performance.
The symposium will cover topics including the social role of the arts, art education in the digital age, the future of cities and art, and current cultural cooperation.
