Chinese premier Li Qiang arrived in Cairo on Wednesday, marking the start of a landmark official visit to Egypt. Fresh from the 17th BRICS Summit in Brazil, Li emphasized that China and Egypt, two leading members of the Global South, must strengthen strategic coordination to advance shared priorities on the global stage.
Highlighting years of deepening political trust and practical collaboration, Li noted that both nations have seen significant progress across sectors such as trade, infrastructure, and multilateral cooperation. This partnership has produced tangible results and serves as a blueprint for other developing nations seeking mutual benefit and sustainable growth.
Looking ahead, the Chinese premier committed to working with Egypt to expand cooperation in areas like renewable energy, digital innovation, and cultural exchanges. He said this would not only drive development and rejuvenation at home but also contribute to regional stability and global peace.
Li's trip follows his attendance at the BRICS Summit, where he engaged with other leaders on boosting collaboration among emerging economies. In Cairo, he is set to meet with Egyptian President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi and other senior counterparts, aiming to seal new agreements and lay the groundwork for future joint initiatives.
By deepening their strategic partnership, China and Egypt are rewriting the playbook for developing nations, showing how cooperation can spark innovation, economic growth, and cross-cultural exchange across continents.
