From the Nile to the Atlas – A new cultural bridge links the Roqey Foundation to “Cairo Today” at the Cairo International Book Fair.
Cairo, January 29, 2026 – In the vibrant heart of the Egyptian capital, in the aisles of the Cairo International Book Fair, one of the biggest cultural events in the Arab world, a new page of cultural cooperation was officially written.
The Roqey Foundation for Art, Culture and Peace (Kingdom of Morocco) and the Cairo Today Foundation for Publishing and Distribution (Arab Republic of Egypt) have signed a strategic partnership agreement, reflecting a shared desire to strengthen editorial and cultural exchanges between the two countries.
An alliance that goes beyond protocol
This agreement is not limited to a formal framework. It is part of a shared vision in which culture becomes a space for trust, mutual esteem and projection into the future.
Both parties stressed that this cooperation embodies the undiminished capacity of culture to bring people together. When books circulate, distances shrink. When art dialogues, it becomes a language of peace.

Roqey Foundation
A welcome in keeping with tradition
In an atmosphere marked by consideration and human warmth, the Roqey Foundation expressed its deep gratitude to the management and team of the Cairo Today Foundation for the quality of the welcome and the spirit of openness that marked this meeting.
This collaboration is based on a shared conviction: the book is not simply a printed object, but a living space where memory, imagination and collective responsibility are exchanged.
Two nations, a shared cultural horizon
This partnership symbolizes the meeting of two major heritages, that of the Nile and that of the Atlas, united in a single creative impulse.
Through this agreement, the two institutions aim to develop joint editorial projects, promote the distribution of Moroccan and Egyptian works, and contribute to a renewed Arab cultural dialogue based on trust, excellence and sustainability.
The result is a new bridge, built not of stone but of ink, where every page turned brings Cairo and Rabat closer together, and every shared initiative charts a common course for the future.
