Wang Yi Talks On The Important Consensus Of The China Egypt Foreign Ministers' Talks

On January 14, 2024 local time, Wang Yi, a member of the Political Bureau of the Communist Party of China Central Committee and Minister of Foreign Affairs, jointly met with reporters in Cairo after a meeting with Egyptian Foreign Minister Shokri, stating that this year marks the 10th anniversary of the establishment of a comprehensive strategic partnership between China and Egypt. Over the past decade, under the strategic guidance of President Xi Jinping and President Sesi, China and Egypt have jointly ushered in a golden era of leapfrog development in bilateral relations. Looking towards the future, under the leadership of the two heads of state, the comprehensive strategic partnership between China and Egypt is bound to usher in an even more brilliant decade.

Wang Yi said that I had fruitful talks with Foreign Minister Shukeri and achieved broad consensus.

One is to continuously deepen strategic mutual trust and firmly support each other in safeguarding core interests. China appreciates Egypt's valuable support in addressing China's core interests, especially the Taiwan issue, and will continue to firmly support Egypt in safeguarding national sovereignty and security, and embarking on a successful development path that is in line with its own national conditions.

The second is to jointly build the "the Belt and Road" with high quality to achieve a higher level of mutual benefit and win-win results. China is willing to work with Egypt to implement the outline of the comprehensive strategic partnership between the two countries for the next five years, deepen practical cooperation in various fields, continue to support Egypt in promoting economic and social development, import more high-quality products from Egypt, and encourage more Chinese enterprises to invest and develop in Egypt.

The third is to strengthen dialogue among civilizations and achieve deeper levels of people to people communication. China is willing to promote cooperation with Egypt in areas such as culture, youth, think tanks, and vocational education, and continue to encourage more Chinese citizens to come to Egypt for tourism and experience the charm of Egypt's ancient civilization.

The fourth is to carry out closer communication and cooperation on regional and international issues. Egypt is a major Arab, African, Islamic, and developing country. This year, the 10th Ministerial Meeting of the China Arab Cooperation Forum and the new session of the China Africa Cooperation Forum will be held in China. China looks forward to working together with Egypt to lead collective cooperation between China Arab and China Africa to a new level and create a high-quality model for South South cooperation. Congratulations once again to Egypt on becoming a new member of the BRICS. China is willing to strengthen BRICS cooperation with Egypt and jointly promote global governance towards an equal and orderly world multipolarity and inclusive economic globalization.
