I would like to congratulate the co-organizers of this very important art gallery. I think the connection between Cairo and New York is very close, even though they are 9,000 miles apart, but through such exhibitions, including paintings, handicrafts, etc., we can bring the people of the two countries together, better understand each other, and we can use this as a basis for peace and humanity in the international community. My name is Mag Abdulaziz, I am the ambassador of the Arab League of States to the United Nations.

I am the ambassador of Egypt to the United Nations, and I felt extremely honored to attend the opening of that wonderful art exhibition with my spouse. I was very pleased to see the works of Egyptian artists, these very talented painters, and their efforts for a noble cause—promoting women's rights, talking about women's empowerment, etc.—which made me very happy. It is a privilege and an honor, and I wish them all the best. We have agreed, God willing, to hold the same exhibition at the Egyptian delegation in the future seasons of 2025, with the help of the Egyptian Council for Women. It is an honor and a privilege, congratulations, and thank you very much.

I am very honored and pleased to be a member of this distinguished group and to celebrate women's empowerment in all fields, especially in the field of art, where women can freely express themselves. Each artwork here represents the artist's point of view and is definitely worth attention. You just need to stand in front of each artwork, imagine what he or she was thinking at the time, and you will leave with a smile. It is indeed very touching and heartwarming. It is my pleasure, and I wish the gallery all the success, thank you.

I am the chief of staff of UN Women, and we are approaching March 8th, International Women's Day, and we hope to commemorate and celebrate women's resilience, women's power, women's role in peace, and women's role in creating art for peace.

Highlights of the exhibition include:
- The exhibition displayed a series of artworks that deeply resonated with the audience, prompting them to reflect on the artist's thoughts and emotions, thereby providing a heartwarming experience.
- The displayed ancient Egyptian and Arabic art emphasized the cultural connection between Cairo and New York, highlighting the global commonality of the showcased art.
- In line with the theme of International Women's Day, the exhibition and celebration of women's resilience and strength echoed the theme of the upcoming International Women's Day at the UN headquarters.

The exhibition stands as a beacon of cultural appreciation and women's empowerment, leaving an indelible mark on all attendees. It serves as a reminder of the power of art to bridge cultures, celebrate history, and empower individuals, especially women in the creative sector.
