The event is being held from January 28 to 30, 2026, at the Bibliotheca Alexandrina Conference Center, Delegates Hall.

According to State Information Service Egypt, the forum was inaugurated by Ahmed Zayed, Director of the BA, alongside Mohamed Ait Ouali, Ambassador of the Kingdom of Morocco to Egypt. The event aims to unite youth and experts from Egypt and Morocco in an academic and intellectual dialogue.

The forum serves as a dialogue platform among diplomats, academics, researchers, and intellectuals from both countries. It covers themes such as Egyptian-Moroccan cultural relations, culture and soft diplomacy as a means of communication, national identity and cultural diversity, the symbolic power of culture in relations between peoples, and the role of youth in revitalizing cultural engagement.
