習近平指出，68年前，埃及在阿拉伯和非洲國家中率先同新中國建交。任憑國際形勢風雲變幻，兩國始終相互信任、真誠合作、攜手發展。今年是中埃建立全面戰略夥伴關係10週年。10年來，我同塞西總統共同引領雙邊關係蓬勃發展。中埃關係已經成為中國同阿拉伯、非洲、伊斯蘭和發展中國家團結協作、互利共贏的生動寫照。新形勢下，建設更具內涵、更有活力的中埃關係，符合兩國人民共同期待。中方願同埃方不斷深化互信，推進合作，構建面向新時代的中埃命運共同體，為地區乃至世界和平、穩定、發展、繁榮貢獻力量。

習近平強調，中國正在全面推進強國建設、民族復興偉業，中埃各領域交流合作面臨歷史性機遇。雙方要繼續堅定相互支援，攜手促進共同發展。中方願同埃方深挖基礎設施、工業、電力、農業等傳統領域合作潛能，開闢醫療衛生、資訊通訊、可再生能源等新興領域合作，深化經貿投資合作，鼓勵更多中國企業赴埃及投資興業。辦好今年“中埃夥伴年”，擴大兩國人員往來和人文交流合作，將埃及“魯班工坊”打造成中非職業教育合作的標桿。

習近平強調，中方支援埃及在國際和地區事務中發揮更大作用，願同埃方進一步密切在聯合國、上海合作組織、金磚國家合作機制等多邊平臺的協調配合，倡導平等有序的世界多極化和普惠包容的經濟全球化，共同維護國際公平正義和發展中國家共同利益。今年是中阿合作論壇成立20週年。中方願同埃及和其他各方密切溝通合作，建好中阿合作論壇，不斷為中阿關係發展注入新動力，推進中阿命運共同體建設。中方也願同埃及等中非合作論壇非方成員一道，發揚中非友好合作精神，攜手構建高水準的中非命運共同體。

雙方還就巴以衝突交換意見。習近平指出，本輪巴以衝突造成巴勒斯坦大量無辜平民傷亡，加沙人道主義局勢極其嚴峻，中方深感痛心。當務之急是立即停火止戰，避免衝突外溢衝擊地區和平穩定，防止更加嚴重的人道主義危機。“兩國方案”是解決巴勒斯坦問題的根本出路。中方堅定支援巴勒斯坦成為聯合國正式會員國。中方讚賞埃方為推動局勢降溫和實施人道主義救援發揮的重要作用，願同埃方一道，繼續為加沙民眾提供力所能及的幫助，推動早日全面、公正、持久解決巴勒斯坦問題。

BEIJING, May 29 (Xinhua) -- Chinese President Xi Jinping held talks with Egyptian President Abdel Fattah El-Sisi in Beijing on Wednesday.

Xi noted that, 68 years ago, Egypt was the first Arab and African state to establish diplomatic relations with China. This year marks the 10th anniversary of the establishment of the China-Egypt comprehensive strategic partnership, he said, adding that over the past decade, the two heads of state have worked together to guide the vigorous development of bilateral relations.

China-Egypt relations have become a vivid illustration of China's solidarity, coordination, and mutually-beneficial win-win cooperation with Arab, African, Islamic and developing countries, Xi said, adding that under the new circumstances, building a more enriched and dynamic China-Egypt relationship meets the common expectations of the two peoples.

Xi said that China is ready to work with Egypt to deepen mutual trust, advance cooperation, build a China-Egypt community with a shared future in the new era, and contribute to regional and world peace, stability, development and prosperity.

Xi stressed that China is striving in all aspects to build a strong and prosperous country and achieve national rejuvenation, and China and Egypt are facing historic opportunities for exchanges and cooperation in various fields. The two sides should continue to firmly support each other and work together to promote common development, Xi added.

China is ready to work with Egypt to tap the potential of cooperation in traditional areas such as infrastructure, industry, electricity and agriculture, explore cooperation in emerging areas such as health care, information and communications, and renewable energy, deepen economic, trade and investment cooperation, and encourage more Chinese enterprises to invest and do business in Egypt, Xi said.

Xi urged efforts to organize the 2024 China-Egypt year of partnership, expand personnel and cultural exchanges, and make the Luban Workshop in Egypt a benchmark for China-Africa vocational education cooperation.

China supports Egypt in playing a greater role in international and regional affairs, and stands ready to further strengthen coordination and cooperation with Egypt on multilateral platforms such as the United Nations, the Shanghai Cooperation Organization and the BRICS cooperation mechanism, advocate an equal and orderly multi-polar world and a universally beneficial and inclusive economic globalization, and jointly safeguard international fairness and justice, as well as the common interests of developing countries, Xi said.

This year marks the 20th anniversary of the establishment of the China-Arab States Cooperation Forum. Xi said that China is ready to work closely with Egypt and other parties to build a successful China-Arab States Cooperation Forum, inject new impetus into China-Arab relations, and promote the building of a China-Arab community with a shared future.

China is also willing to work with Egypt and other African members of the Forum on China-Africa Cooperation to carry forward the spirit of China-Africa friendship and cooperation, and work together to build a high-level China-Africa community with a shared future, Xi added.

Sisi expressed his pleasure at paying a state visit to China and attending the opening ceremony of the 10th ministerial meeting of the China-Arab States Cooperation Forum, adding that Egypt expects to further deepen the comprehensive strategic partnership with China and strive to promote regional peace and stability.

Sisi said that Egypt adheres to the one-China principle, firmly supports China's position on issues relating to its core interests such as Taiwan, Hong Kong, Xizang and human rights, and firmly supports China in achieving complete national reunification.

It is hoped that the 2024 Egypt-China year of partnership will be an opportunity for the two countries to enhance people-to-people exchanges and strengthen bilateral cooperation in such areas as information and communications, artificial intelligence, new energy, food security and finance, Sisi added.

Expressing appreciation to Xi for putting forward a series of global initiatives, Sisi said Egypt stands ready to work closely with China in multilateral cooperation to make positive contributions to human peace and progress.

The two sides also exchanged views on the Palestinian-Israeli conflict.

Xi said that the current round of Palestinian-Israeli conflict has caused heavy casualties of innocent Palestinian civilians and the humanitarian situation in Gaza is extremely grave, and China is deeply saddened. It is imperative to cease fire and stop the war immediately, avoid the spillover of conflict which will impact regional peace and stability, and prevent a more serious humanitarian crisis, he said.

Noting that the two-State solution is the fundamental way out for resolving the Palestinian question, Xi said China firmly supports Palestine in becoming a full member of the United Nations. China appreciates Egypt's important role in cooling down the situation and providing humanitarian relief, and is ready to work with Egypt to continue to provide assistance to the people in Gaza within its capacity, and promote an early, full, just and lasting settlement of the Palestinian question, Xi added.

Egypt greatly appreciates China's consistent commitment to justice on the Palestinian question and stands ready to maintain close communication with China to push for an early easing of tensions in the Gaza Strip, Sisi added.

After the talks, the two heads of state jointly witnessed the signing of bilateral cooperation documents in various fields, which involve the plan for the promotion of cooperation in jointly building the Belt and Road, science and technology innovation, investment and economic cooperation, and quarantine.

The two sides also issued a joint statement on deepening the comprehensive strategic partnership. ■
