Minister of Tourism
When Onuart Foundation asked us to collaborate with them in the organization of this concert, to impulse the dialogue among civilizations created by the Silk Road since centuries, I thought it was an excellent opportunity to present the music and culture of the Silk Road countries at one of the most emblematic places of Egypt, the Luxor Temple.
Our Ministry organization impulses public diplomacy and deep dialogue and exchanges between China and the world, and I hope this musical event will serve to know each other better, to collaborate on new projects and above all, to work and to achieve, by the Silk Road that unites us, a future in peace, full of hope and opportunity for all.

President of Fundación ONUART
After the great success of The Silk Road Concert, organized last year at Alliance of Civilizations Chamber at the Palais des Nations, our main objective has been to spread the event to all countries of the Silk Road. We are proud that Egypt has been taking the leadership to this new edition.
Egypt has been always a reference in the encounter between East and West through the Silk Road. Nowadays we are in new phase in the development and knowledge between both worlds transforming the commerce in mutual knowledge and communication between countries and civilisations.
And in this process of fruitful interaction, the spread of the Art, as a universal language of creativity, of respect and emotion, contributes to a healthy coexistence of peoples, cultures, citizens and sensitivities.
