Egyptian PM hails ‘positive results’ of China visit
Egyptian Prime Minister Mostafa Madbouly praised the “positive results” of his recent visit to China during a cabinet meeting, according to a statement from the Egyptian cabinet.
“This visit yielded positive results, thanks to the signing of contracts for several projects within the Suez Canal Economic Zone (SCZone), as well as memoranda of understanding to enhance cooperation in information technology between Egypt and China,” said Mr Madbouly.
On behalf of Egyptian President Abdel-Fattah al-Sisi, Mr Madbouly participated in the 2024 summit of the Forum on China-Africa Cooperation (FOCAC) held in Beijing.
The Egyptian prime minister highlighted his important meetings with several heads and representatives of major Chinese companies, who expressed interest in investing in Egypt in various fields.
“These contracts and the strong desire of Chinese companies to pump large investments into Egypt reflect the success of the state’s approach.
“It also reflects government measures towards creating a more attractive climate for foreign direct investment,” he said.
He added that the deals signed in China confirmed foreign investors’ confidence in Egypt as “a promising market with great investment opportunities.”
On the sidelines of the 2024 FOCAC summit, Mr Madbouly witnessed the signing of contracts between SCZone and several Chinese companies to undertake new projects to manufacture chemical products, food products, and energy components.
He also attended the signing of five memoranda of understanding between the Egyptian side and Chinese companies for cooperation in communications and information technology.
Egypt and China have long-standing cooperative ties that have significantly developed over the past decade, spanning energy, industry, construction, and transportation sectors.
