Xi Jinping pointed out that Egypt was the first Arab and African country to establish diplomatic relations with New China 68 years ago. Despite the changing international situation, the two countries have always maintained mutual trust, sincere cooperation and joint development. This year marks the 10th anniversary of China Egypt comprehensive strategic partnership. Over the past 10 years, President Sisi and I have jointly led the bilateral relations to flourish. China Egypt relations have become a vivid portrayal of China's solidarity, cooperation and mutual benefit with Arab, African, Islamic and developing countries. Under the new situation, building a more meaningful and dynamic China Egypt relationship is in line with the common expectations of the two peoples. China is willing to work with Egypt to continuously deepen mutual trust, promote cooperation, build a China Egypt community of common destiny for a new era, and contribute to regional and even world peace, stability, development and prosperity.
Xi Jinping stressed that China is comprehensively promoting the great cause of building a strong country and national rejuvenation, and China Egypt exchanges and cooperation in various fields face historic opportunities. Both sides should continue to firmly support each other and work together to promote common development. China is willing to work with Egypt to tap the potential of cooperation in traditional fields such as infrastructure, industry, electricity and agriculture, open up cooperation in emerging fields such as health care, information communication and renewable energy, deepen cooperation in trade and investment, and encourage more Chinese enterprises to invest in Egypt. We will successfully hold this year's "China Egypt Partnership Year", expand personnel exchanges and people to people and cultural exchanges and cooperation between the two countries, and make Egypt's "Luban Workshop" a benchmark for China Africa vocational education cooperation.
Xi Jinping stressed that China supports Egypt to play a greater role in international and regional affairs, and is willing to further strengthen coordination and cooperation with Egypt on multilateral platforms such as the United Nations, the Shanghai Cooperation Organization and the BRICS cooperation mechanism, advocate an equal and orderly world of multi polarization and inclusive economic globalization, and jointly safeguard international fairness and justice and the common interests of developing countries. This year marks the 20th anniversary of the establishment of the China Arab Cooperation Forum. China is willing to work closely with Egypt and other parties to build a China Arab cooperation forum, constantly inject new impetus into the development of China Arab relations, and promote the building of a community of common destiny between China and Arab countries. China is also willing to work with Egypt and other African members of the Forum on China Africa Cooperation to carry forward the spirit of China Africa friendly cooperation and work together to build a high-level China Africa community of common destiny.

Sisi expressed that he was very happy to come to China for a state visit and attend the opening ceremony of the tenth ministerial meeting of the China Arab Cooperation Forum. At present, the world is undergoing profound and complex changes, and the Middle East is in deep crisis. Egypt expects to further deepen the comprehensive strategic partnership with China and strive to promote regional peace and stability. Egypt strictly abides by the one China principle, firmly supports China's position on issues of core interests such as Taiwan, Hong Kong, Tibet and human rights, and firmly supports China to achieve complete national reunification. Egypt welcomes more Chinese enterprises to invest and cooperate in Egypt to help Egypt's manufacturing development and industrialization process. It is hoped that this year's "Egypt China Partnership Year" will be taken as an opportunity to strengthen people to people and cultural exchanges and strengthen bilateral cooperation in information and communication, artificial intelligence, new energy, food security, finance and other aspects. Egypt appreciates the series of global initiatives put forward by President Xi Jinping and is willing to work closely with China multilaterally to make positive contributions to human peace and progress.
The two sides also exchanged views on the Palestine Israel conflict. Xi Jinping pointed out that the current round of Palestinian Israeli conflict has caused a large number of innocent Palestinian civilians casualties, and the humanitarian situation in Gaza is extremely serious. China is deeply distressed. The top priority is to immediately cease fire and end the war, prevent the spillover of conflict from impacting regional peace and stability, and prevent a more serious humanitarian crisis. The "two State solution" is the fundamental way to solve the Palestinian question. China firmly supports Palestine to become a full member of the United Nations. China appreciates the important role played by Egypt in promoting the cooling of the situation and the implementation of humanitarian relief, and is willing to work with Egypt to continue to provide assistance to the people of Gaza within its capacity and promote an early, comprehensive, just and lasting settlement of the Palestinian question.
Sisi said that Egypt highly appreciates that China has always presided over justice and adhered to a just position on the Palestinian issue, and is willing to maintain close communication with China to promote the easing of tensions in Gaza as soon as possible.
