The friendship and communication between China and the Arab countries have gone through a long history since Han Wudi’s reign（the Seventh Emperor of Han Dynasty），with the establishment of an all-round bilateral relationship in politics，economy，trade and culture. Culturally，Sino-Arab communication combines Confucianism as the traditional Chinese culture with Islamism as the typical Arabian culture，which greatly promotes the friendship between two sides. Therefore，it is realistic to review this section of history since it is quite significant in strengthening the two cultures’ mutual trust，adding agreement，consolidating cooperation，promoting and expanding the tie between us in this historical context.

As the first year of the 13th Five-year Plan，2016 is an important time for China andthe Arab countries to establish diplomatic relations for 60 years. It is particularly important for Sino-Arab cultural communication to serve the national initiative “The Belt and Road”. China and the Arab countries work together to continuously seek breakthrough for the development of their in-depth cultural communication，building their new patterns，consolidating the basis of Sino-Arab friendly cooperation，as well as promoting the deepening of the bilateral cultural communication.
