Xi Jinping visits Egypt to deepen strategic partnership and security ties

Chinese President Xi Jinping conducted a state visit to Egypt on September 1-2, 2026, marking his first trip to the country in a decade. During meetings with President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi, the two leaders discussed deepening their global strategic partnership and addressing regional instability in the Middle East.

Xi Jinping proposed a new four-point security architecture for the Middle East, emphasizing that regional nations should be “masters of their own affairs” and reject external interference. He highlighted the Palestinian issue as the core of regional concerns and expressed China’s readiness to help safeguard international shipping lanes.

Economically, the visit underscored growing bilateral ties. Trade between Egypt and China reached $11.3 billion in the first half of 2026, a 21.5% increase year-on-year. Cooperation is expanding into high-tech sectors, including semiconductors, data centers, and critical metals supply chains, as well as green energy and electric vehicles.

A key focus remains the TEDA Suez Economic and Trade Cooperation Zone, which has attracted over $4.7 billion in cumulative investment and hosts nearly 200 companies. The two nations also agreed to strengthen the use of their respective currencies in trade and investment to bolster economic coordination.
