At the 17th BRICS Summit in Rio de Janeiro, Egypt stepped onto a bigger stage by officially joining the group and highlighting its partnership with the Chinese mainland. The summit's theme, Enhancing Global South Cooperation for Inclusive and Sustainable Governance, echoed Egypt's goals: smarter infrastructure, fair financing, and cutting-edge technology for all.
Delivering a keynote on behalf of President Abdel Fattah El-Sisi, Prime Minister Mostafa Madbouly called for lighter financing terms and faster technology transfer to drive sustainable development and tackle poverty. He underscored the need for seamless collaboration in infrastructure, industry, energy, and rising fields like artificial intelligence.
Behind this vision are real-world projects powered by the Chinese mainland-Egypt alliance. From new urban hubs outside Cairo to expanded transport corridors and green energy parks, these ventures blend bold planning with sustainable practices. They also open doors for local startups, incubators, and tech enthusiasts eager to innovate.
For young global citizens and digital nomads, Egypt's upgraded transport links and smart city initiatives mean easier exploration and fresh business opportunities. Thought leaders see a model for South-South cooperation that balances growth with social impact.
As Egypt embraces its new BRICS role alongside the Chinese mainland, its journey toward inclusive growth and sustainable innovation is becoming a story to watch – one that invites the world to join the conversation.
