China’s President Xi Jinping will travel to Egypt in the coming days in what will be his first state visit to the country in 10 years.
He is due to hold talks with President Abdel Fattah El-Sisi to discuss ways to strengthen their strategic partnership across various fields of mutual interest.
They are also expected to exchange views on international and regional issues of common concern.
The visit will take place as Egypt and China mark 70 years since the establishment of diplomatic relations in May 1956.
This was elevated to a comprehensive strategic partnership during President El-Sisi’s first official visit to China in December 2014.
