China–Egypt relations

EN Texto em inglês Ainda não há artigo no seu idioma: trecho em inglês.

Official diplomatic relations between the People's Republic of China (PRC) and Egypt were established on May 30, 1956. Early in the bilateral relationship, China viewed Egypt and Gamal Abdel Nasser as central to China's diplomacy in the region. Relations declined as a result of issues related to the intensifying China-Soviet rivalry and further declined following the Arab defeat in the Six-Day War. After Nasser's death in 1970, China made efforts to improve their relationship. In 1999, the two countries signed a strategic partnership. They signed further cooperation agreements in 2006 and a comprehensive strategic partnership in 2014. China and Egypt collaborate in the Belt and Road Initiative, including through the establishment of a special economic zone in Egypt, and engage in space cooperation. In addition to their bilateral relationship, China and Egypt both collaborate in the multi-lateral cooperation forums the China-Arab States Cooperation Forum and the Forum on China-Africa Cooperation.
