新华社开罗9月2日电

At the invitation of His Excellency Abdel Fattah el-Sisi, President of the Arab Republic of Egypt, His Excellency Xi Jinping, President of the People’s Republic of China, paid a state visit to the Arab Republic of Egypt from September 1 to 2, 2026, coinciding with the 70th anniversary of diplomatic relations between the two countries. Egypt was the first Arab and African country to recognize the People’s Republic of China, establishing diplomatic relations with China in 1956. Over the past 70 years, friendly and cooperative relations have developed significantly, remained sound and stable, and formed the defining features of China–Egypt friendship: “equality and mutual trust, friendship and mutual learning, solidarity and mutual assistance, and win-win cooperation.” China–Egypt relations have become a model for the development of friendly cooperation between China and Arab and African countries.

应阿拉伯埃及共和国总统阿卜杜勒法塔赫·塞西阁下邀请,中华人民共和国主席习近平阁下于2026年9月1日至2日对阿拉伯埃及共和国进行国事访问,此访恰逢两国建交70周年。埃及是第一个承认中华人民共和国的阿拉伯和非洲国家,1956年同中国建立外交关系。70年来,两国友好合作关系显著发展,始终保持健康稳定,形成“平等互信、友好互鉴、和衷共济、合作共赢”的中埃友好特征。中埃关系已成为中国同阿拉伯、非洲国家友好合作精神发展的表率。

The two heads of state held formal talks on bilateral relations, reviewed the remarkable development and qualitative leap achieved since the comprehensive strategic partnership was established in 2014, and exchanged views and reached broad consensus on international and regional issues of common concern.

两国元首围绕双边关系举行正式会谈,回顾2014年两国全面战略伙伴关系建立以来所取得的显著发展和质的飞跃,并就共同关心的国际和地区问题交换意见,达成广泛共识。
