CAIRO, Sept. 29 (Xinhua) -- China and Egypt
are two friend states with long civilization and very important
strategic ties, Cairo Governor Galal al-Saeed told Xinhua on Tuesday.
The governor's remarks came during a ceremony held by the Chinese
embassy in Cairo to mark the 66th anniversary of the founding of the
People's Republic of China.
"The Chinese and Egyptian peoples share mutual love and respect. I
hope for the Egyptian-Chinese ties to further grow in the future,
whether strong political or economic relations in favor of both
peoples," Saeed said during the ceremony.
For his part, Chinese Ambassador to Egypt Song Aiguo described the
friendship between Egypt and China as "time-honored" and the bilateral
relations between the two countries as "strong and close."
He noted that Egyptian President Abdel-Fattah al-Sisi has recently
visited China and that Egypt was the only African and Arab country that
participated in the military parade recently held in Chinese capital
Beijing to mark the 70th anniversary of the end of World War II (WWII)
and the Chinese People's War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression.
"Egypt is a major Arab, African and developing country. China has
always been viewing and developing the China-Egypt relations from a
strategic and long-term prospective," Song said.
