"The Chinese tourists adore the Egyptian monuments, and the Egyptian archeological sites are well-known among the Chinese who have similar ancient civilization," Shi added.
He revealed that China and Egypt have discussed on the official levels about organizing a tourism exhibition in Beijing.
"I hope we can see the launch of a pharaonic expo soon, like the one of the Egyptian renowned Pharaoh Tutankhamun in China," the Chinese diplomat said.
Ties between Egypt and China have been growing fast over the past few years with the support of the political leaderships of both sides, which led to the elevation of bilateral ties to a comprehensive strategic partnership in late 2017.
The archeological sector was important to the two countries' cooperation as it will boost tourism, Shi said.
In November 2017, the first Chinese archeological team in Egypt started its excavation work in Montu Temple at the Karnak Temple Complex of the monument-rich southern city of Luxor.
Shi said a Chinese Excavation Center will be established in Luxor.
"We are now in the process of sending the request to the Egyptian Ministry of Foreign Affairs to aid us in concluding the procedures of founding the center," he noted.
