China: Egypt and Republic

china: The July revolution triggered the transformation of Egypt from a monarchy into a republic, calling for the unity of developing countries to create the Non-Alignment Movement, Elmagdoub said in a speech celebrating Egypt's National Day, according to Global Times China. One of the most significant outcomes of this revolution was the establishment of diplomatic relations between the Arab Republic of Egypt and the People's Republic of China in 1956, marking Egypt as the first Arab and African country to establish diplomatic ties with the new China, he said. China and Egypt are enjoying the Comprehensive Strategic Partnership agreement launched in 2014, which has started to translate into several industrial-capacity projects that aim to enhance Egypt's industrial capabilities. Egypt, which aims to become an advanced economic power in the 21st century, has applied a very ambitious socio-economic reform program in recent years. Egypt also plans to build a new administrative capital in the east of Cairo, where China plays an important role in the construction of the CBD, said the ambassador. Among the reform plans, one is to double the passage through the Suez Canal to allow more traffic of ships and less crossing time. (news.financializer.com). As reported in the news.
