Tehran, Beijing discuss collaboration in Global Civilization Initiative

TEHRAN – Iran’s tourism minister Ezzatollah Zarghami and his Chinese counterpart Sun Yeli have discussed ways to expand bilateral cooperation in a recent meeting held in Shanghai. 

“During a meeting between Iranian Cultural Heritage, Tourism, and Handicrafts Minister and China’s Minister of Culture and Tourism” Iranian ambassador to China, on Tuesday posted on X. “Both sides discussed holding ‘the Glory of Ancient Persia’ exhibition as best as possible.”
“They highlighted the significance of people-to-people interaction, cooperation in Global Civilization Initiative, the Alliance for Cultural Heritage in Asia, and boosting the tourism industry,” Mohsen Bakhtiar wrote on his page.
Iranian delegation arrived in Shanghai to attend the inauguration ceremony of the loan exhibit of exquisite Persian ruins. 
The Glory of Ancient Persia features more than 200 Persian relics, including a delicate Achaemenid golden rhyton, that have been insured for 114,250,000 euros by the Chinese government, committed to their protection and exhibition.

The exhibition initially opened its doors to the public earlier this year in the Chinese capital, Beijing and after months of the display, Iran has approved a six-month extension for the cultural event in Shanghai following an enthusiastic reception.
Some experts believe the extension marks a significant cultural exchange between the two nations, highlighting Iran’s rich historical heritage on the international scene.
