Egyptians Eye Stronger Ties with China as Leaders Meet 🇪🇬🤝🇨🇳

The streets of Cairo are buzzing with anticipation as Egypt's President Abdel Fattah El-Sisi visits China this week – a trip locals hope will turbocharge trade, tech collaboration, and cultural bridges between the two nations. 🌍

Marking 68 years since Egypt became the first Arab and African country to establish diplomatic relations with China, this visit also celebrates a decade of their comprehensive strategic partnership. The timing? Perfect: President El-Sisi is joining the 10th China-Arab States Cooperation Forum ministerial conference, where future collaboration takes center stage.

CGTN spoke to Egyptians eager for progress: \"We want more Chinese tech startups here,\" said Amir, a 24-year-old app developer. Others highlighted infrastructure projects like the New Administrative Capital being built with Chinese expertise. 💡

From renewable energy to pharaonic tourism, opportunities abound. As Cairo bookstore owner Nadia put it: \"Every Mandarin class I host sells out – our young people want to engage.\" 📚 With $15 billion in bilateral trade last year, both nations are betting this is just the beginning.
