Xi noted that in 1956 Egypt became the first Arab and African country to establish diplomatic relations with the People’s Republic of China. The older generation of leaders in both countries led their peoples in fighting side by side in pursuit of national independence and against imperialism and colonialism, forging an unbreakable and profound friendship. Seventy years of weathering storms together have cultivated and borne witness to the distinctive features of China–Egypt relations: “equality and mutual trust, friendship and mutual learning, solidarity and mutual assistance, and cooperation for win-win outcomes.” In recent years, under our joint guidance, the China–Egypt comprehensive strategic partnership has achieved leapfrog development. The two sides share similar ideas and aligned strategies in pursuing development and revitalization, improving people’s well-being, and defending international fairness and justice. Faced with an international and regional situation marked by intertwined change and turmoil, the two countries should support one another, deepen cooperation, and continuously advance the building of a China–Egypt community with a shared future.

习近平指出,1956年,埃及在阿拉伯和非洲国家中率先同新中国建交。两国老一辈领导人带领两国人民在追求民族独立、反对帝国主义和殖民主义的道路上并肩奋斗,淬炼出牢不可破的深厚友谊。70年风雨兼程,培育并见证了中埃两国关系“平等互信、友好互鉴、和衷共济、合作共赢”的鲜明特征。近年来,在我们共同引领下,中埃全面战略伙伴关系实现跨越式发展。双方在实现发展振兴、增进人民福祉、捍卫国际公平正义的事业中理念相通、战略契合。面对变乱交织的国际和地区形势,两国要相互支持、深化合作,不断推进中埃命运共同体建设。

Xi stressed that China and Egypt should, first, firmly support one another, maintain the momentum of high-level exchanges, intensify exchanges and cooperation across all fields and at all levels, and strengthen exchanges and mutual learning in state governance. Second, they should advance mutually beneficial cooperation, better align their development strategies, unlock the potential for cooperation in traditional fields such as infrastructure, electricity, agriculture, and communications technology, and create new highlights of cooperation in green energy, electric vehicles, aerospace, the digital economy, and modern agricultural technology. Third, they should promote people-to-people and cultural exchanges, comprehensively expand cooperation in culture, education, science and technology, health, and sports, increase personnel exchanges, and strengthen bonds between their peoples. Fourth, they should strengthen security cooperation, jointly combat transnational crime, deepen international anti-corruption cooperation, firmly support one another’s counterterrorism efforts, and safeguard their common security. Fifth, they should strengthen international and multilateral coordination, further intensify coordination and cooperation on multilateral platforms such as the United Nations and BRICS, jointly advance the China–Arab States Cooperation Forum and the Forum on China–Africa Cooperation, oppose unilateralism and bullying together, and promote a more just and equitable global governance system.
