According to a post published by the Egyptian Embassy in the Netherlands on its Facebook page, the ambassador added, "During the meeting, the Egyptian ambassador highlighted the special importance of the opening of the Grand Egyptian Museum, which reflects Egypt's rich cultural and historical heritage.

For his part, the Director of the Office of His Majesty the King of the Netherlands expressed his country's gratitude and appreciation for this invitation. He also praised Egypt's pivotal role in maintaining security and stability in the region, culminating in the signing of the Sharm el-Sheikh Agreement to end the war in Gaza.
It is worth noting that the Grand Egyptian Museum will be inaugurated in the presence of leaders from various countries, including kings, heads of state, and governments. The official opening of the museum will take place in early November, and it will open to the public on the fourth of the same month.
