Nevine el-Aref talking on the Al Ahram Weekly website about the previously (somehwat confusingly) mentioned Japanese loan for the construction of the Grand Egyptian Museum. "It was a scenic evening at the Prince Taz Palace in Mediaeval Cairo, classical music tunes filled the air and a soft spring breeze played with the soaring palm tree branches in the courtyard. Prime Minister Ahmed Nazif, Culture Minister Farouk Hosni and Fayza Abul- Naga, minister of state for foreign affairs, gathered at the palace's Mashrabiya terrace along with scores of Egyptian ministers, government officials and the Japanese ambassador to Egypt to exchange notes on a long-term loan offered by the Japanese government to help in the construction of the Grand Egyptian Museum (GEM)."
See the above article for full details and announcements made re plans for the museum.
