作为中国主宾国系列活动之一，山东美术出版社和黎巴嫩科学出版社的签约既是山东出版“走出去”的重要成果，也是让国外读者了解中国传统文化独特魅力的一次良机。两家同样有着三十多年历史的专业出版社将以此次合作为开端，通过传统文化的交流，为中国和阿拉伯之间的文化交流增添一座桥梁。
As an important part of the Guest of Honor activities, this signing ceremony is a great achievement of Shandong publishing houses. The cooperation of the two publishing houses that both have histories of more than thirty years can be a cultural bridge that links the two countries and two different cultures. Through this bridge, oversea readers can have the opportunity to feel and touch the unique charm of traditional Chinese culture.
