On the occasion of the month of Ramadan, the Chinese Embassy and the Chinese Chamber of Commerce organized a charity event under the title "The Chinese and Egyptian peoples shoulder to shoulder."

The Chinese ambassador to Egypt, Liao Liqiang, said that the Chinese Embassy will distribute 7,000 Ramadan food cartons boxes to the people of 8 Egyptian governorates to deliver warmth and care to them, looking forward to spending a safe, healthy and sound Ramadan with the Egyptian people.

In his speech, the Chinese ambassador said that Ramadan is a holy month in which Muslims undergo physical and spiritual testing. He added that it is an important occasion to show solidarity and love. He confirmed that mutual respect, good neighborliness, unity and mutual assistance are among the traditional virtues of the Chinese nation.

Liqiang said that both China and Egypt have big people, and they carry out the historical mission of improving people's livelihood and guiding towards modernization. In recent years, Egypt has made remarkable achievements in social and living issues, foremost of which is the presidential initiative, "A Decent Life" put forward by President Abdel Fattah El Sisi, in improving the people's livelihood for 58 million Egyptian citizens.

“We noticed that the Egyptian government recently organized Welcome Ramadan exhibitions to sell goods at low prices to celebrate Ramadan. President Sisi personally launched a shoulder-to-shoulder initiative to distribute food boxes to citizens, and to open low-priced outlets in local communities and supermarkets.”

"In order to actively interact with the shoulder-to-shoulder initiative, the Chinese Embassy and the Chinese Chamber of Commerce are organizing a charitable event under the title "The Chinese and Egyptian peoples shoulder-to-shoulder" to provide support as much as possible.

The Chinese ambassador affirmed the Chinese side's sincere condolences and friendly feelings towards the Egyptian people.

"This year is the ninth year in a row in which the Chinese side organizes a Ramadan charity event. This time, we will distribute 7,000 Ramadan food cartons to the people of 8 Egyptian governorates to deliver warmth and care to them, looking forward to spending a safe, healthy and sound Ramadan with the Egyptian people."

"China and Egypt have traditional friendship and a solid comprehensive strategic partnership. I am confident that the growing Sino-Egyptian relations and high-level practical cooperation between the two countries will bring more noticeable and tangible benefits to the two peoples. The Chinese embassy in Cairo and Chinese operating companies will make greater and tangible efforts to support Egypt's economic and social development."

" Finally, I once again wish the friendly Egyptian people a blessed Ramadan, good health and happiness."
