The General Secretariat of the Prince Mohammed bin Salman Prize for Cultural Cooperation between Saudi Arabia and China has announced the opening nominations for its first edition.
The nominations are open until the end of February 2025 through the award's official website at (www.pmsa.org.sa).
Dr. Abdul Mohsen Al-Aqili, the award's secretary-general, has invited academic and cultural institutions in both countries to participate actively in the nominations.
Al-Aqili noted that the award accepts nominations in four categories: research and studies in cultural areas, artistic and creative works, translation between Arabic and Chinese, and cultural personality from both countries. Nominations are welcomed from academic and cultural institutions as well as individuals, with the exception of the cultural personalities category.
Applicants are required to adhere to specific criteria, including holding Saudi or Chinese nationality and ensuring that the nominated work is in either Arabic or Chinese. Furthermore, candidates must align with the award's core aim of fostering cultural communication, particularly between Arab and Chinese cultures.
Detailed scientific and technical conditions tailored for each category are available on the award's official website.
"The award champions values of cultural openness and communication among populations, governed by objectivity, integrity, transparency, and intellectual property rights,” Al-Aqili said.
In addition to recognizing outstanding works annually, the award is committed to creating opportunities and initiatives that support its objectives. Particular emphasis is placed on engaging youth in Saudi Arabia and China, harnessing their technical and artistic potential to strengthen cultural ties between the two nations.
The incentive award has been established to empower young talent across three categories: young researcher, young creator, and young translator. The award adheres to the general award guidelines, including a maximum age limit of 35 years for candidates in these categories.
Nominations for the incentive award in these branches are now available through the official website for this edition.

The Saudi Heritage Commission, one of the 11 sector-specific commissions under Saudi Arabia’s Ministry of Culture, and China’s National Cultural Heritage Administration have recently signed an amendment to extend the archaeological excavations cooperation project, which began in 2016, at Al-Serrain site in the Makkah region.

The renewal of this agreement further strengthens the cultural relations between the two countries in the fields of heritage preservation and archaeological research. This extension, lasting for five years, reflects the strong ties between the two nations and ensures ongoing, in-depth collaboration in areas such as archaeological excavation and heritage conservation.

Since the project’s inception, the archaeological work at Al-Serrain site has achieved significant results, providing valuable academic insight into the historical and cultural understanding of the region. The collaboration between Saudi Arabia and China in cultural heritage research, archeological excavations, and conservation has become a key part of the cultural exchange between the two nations, further advancing their cultural relations.

This extension marks a new phase in Saudi-Chinese cultural cooperation, with both nations committed to expanding and deepening their collaboration in archaeology and cultural heritage preservation.
