China Highlights Preparations for Premier Li Qiang’s Visit to Egypt

China has outlined the key arrangements for the upcoming official visit of Chinese Premier Li Qiang to Egypt on July 9 and 10, following an invitation from Egyptian Prime Minister Mostafa Madbouly.

During a press conference on July 3, Chinese Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Mao Ning confirmed the visit and emphasized the historical significance of China-Egypt ties. Egypt was the first Arab and African country to establish diplomatic relations with the People's Republic of China.

The two nations maintain a comprehensive strategic partnership. In recent years, under the leadership of Chinese President Xi Jinping and Egyptian President Abdel Fattah El-Sisi, China-Egypt relations have flourished. Political mutual trust continues to deepen, and practical cooperation across various sectors has achieved significant progress. Both sides also coordinate closely in multilateral forums.

During the visit, Premier Li Qiang is expected to hold in-depth discussions with Egyptian leaders on ways to advance bilateral relations, enhance mutually beneficial cooperation, and address regional and international issues of shared concern.

China hopes this visit will further strengthen the historic friendship with Egypt, deepen practical collaboration, and promote continuous progress toward building a shared future between China and Egypt. Beijing also aims to boost efforts toward establishing a higher-level China-Arab community with a shared future.
