Sinopec Hosts Youth Cultural Ambassador Competition to Promote China-Egypt Exchanges

Held under the guidance of the Chinese Embassy in Egypt, the event was included 
in the program of activities for the** China-Africa Year of People-to-People Exchanges**.

Since its launch in July, the competition has received nearly 100 original short-
video entries from 12 Egyptian universities, documenting China-Egypt friendship 
and showcasing young people’s understanding of and enthusiasm for each other’s cultures.

Of the 30 honorees selected through preliminary and semifinal rounds, 16 contestants
from six universities advanced to the final. During the final round, contestants
competed in three quiz rounds: compulsory questions, buzzer questions and risk-taking
questions. Five first-prize winners were selected and will be invited to visit Shanghai
and Ningbo in China for a cultural experience program.

**Seifeldien Leisy, a third-year student at Cairo University**, was among the first-
prize winners. He said that learning each other’s languages and cultures helps young
people from Egypt and China deepen mutual understanding, learn from one another 
and make progress together. He expressed hope that he would have the opportunity
to study and work in China in the future, gain a deeper understanding of the country
and promote friendship through language exchanges.

**Lu Chunsheng, minister counselor at the Chinese Embassy in Egypt**, said the competition
provided a valuable platform for youth exchanges as the two countries mark the 70th
anniversary of diplomatic relations this year.

He encouraged the selected students to share stories of China-Egypt cooperation 
and promote friendship among their peers, adding that the embassy would continue
to provide opportunities for young people from both countries to connect.

**Rehab Mahmoud, Egyptian director of the Confucius Institute of Cairo University**,
said the Chinese language is becoming an important bridge connecting the peoples
of the two countries, with an increasing number of young Egyptians learning Chinese
and gaining a better understanding of China. She expressed confidence that the ambassadors
would help extend these cultural connections to more young people.

Alongside the competition, a China-Egypt cultural fair and a Chinese-themed photo
area offered guests and audience members opportunities to explore both cultures 
through quizzes and other interactive activities.

**Wei Dong, chief representative of Sinopec’s Africa Office**, said Sinopec would
continue to fulfill its brand promise of "Cleaner Energy, Better Life" and work 
closely with various sectors of Egyptian society to create more opportunities for
youth exchanges and help advance the China-Egypt comprehensive strategic partnership.
