Japan helps preserve Zabid culture [Archives:2004/795/Local News]

The government of Japan has decided to extend a cultural grant amounting to US $46,430 to the General Organization for Antiquities, Museums and Manuscripts for the purchase of conservation equipment for Zabid Historical Museum in Zabid Citadel.
An agreement was signed at the Embassy of Japan in Sana'a by Dr. Abdulla Mohammed Bawazir, President of the General Organization for Antiquities, Museums and Manuscripts and H.E. Yuichi Ishii, the Ambassador of Japan to the Republic of Yemen.
It is worth mentioning that this cultural grant, which comes under the scheme called “Grant Assistance for Cultural Grassroots Projects”, is the second Japanese cultural grant aid extended to Yemen this year, following the cultural grant to the National Center for Archives for the preservation of historical documents, given in August.
