"Our two great nations have long-term friendship and relationship that go back for many years," she said. "We both come from very old civilizations that celebrate art, humanity medicine and lots of achievements."

The celebration featured Chinese and Egyptian musical performances that added beauty to the friendly atmosphere.

Norhan Salah, an Egyptian young woman, said that it is her first time to attend the Spring Festival celebrations in Egypt, adding that she came to the event to share the festival's moments with her Chinese friends.

"I love China and love everything about it...I'm an addict of Chinese drama and literature. I love the Chinese culture because it is very close to ours," said Salah who studies Chinese language at the Chinese Cultural Center in Cairo.

Egyptian-Chinese bilateral ties have been elevated to the level of comprehensive strategic partnership with growing economic and cultural cooperation between the two countries in the light of China-proposed Belt and Road Initiative.
