520			_aThe China-Arab relationship has endured for centuries. Past relationship was primarily anchored in economic spheres on the legendry Silk Road and once again is prospering in the economic sphere. The burgeoning economic relationship of the past had lost its track after the discovery of the Sea route when Europeans replaced the Arabs as a major trading partner. But the relationship founded through trade and travelling continued later also and a new phase of cultural and intellectual exchange in the nineteenth and the early twentieth century provided a new impetus to the bilateral relationship. The visit of a series of Chinese academic delegations and individual scholars to Egypt and other parts of the Arab World and the subsequent translation of various Chinese and Arabic texts into Arabic and Chinese languages brought both sides close to each other.
