Xi Jinping in Cairo as Egypt and China seek to deepen ties
Egypt welcomed Chinese President Xi Jinping in Cairo today during his first visit to the country in ten years, as part of efforts to strengthen the relations between Cairo and Beijing amid regional crises and China's growing influence in the Middle East. The visit focused on deepening military and economic cooperation, with Chinese investments increasing and Egypt expanding its ties with major powers, especially as confidence in traditional security alliances wanes. Egypt is considered an important partner for China due to its strategic location and the Suez Canal, with Chinese imports to Egypt surpassing a 14% increase in the first half of the year. Beijing is also investing billions of dollars in various projects across Egypt.
