With its unique geographical location， abundant human resources， multiple identities of Arab countries， African countries and Islamic countries， and pragmatic， pluralistic and balanced foreign policy， Egypt plays a pivotal role in Africa and the Middle East. The friendly relations between China and Egypt have a profound historical and realistic foundation. The two countries are both developing countries. They have similar experiences， share their destiny and support each other in international affairs， so their relationship is a model for South-South cooperation. In the new era， China and Egypt have established a comprehensive strategic partnership， and the joint construction of "The Belt and Road" has injected new momentum into the deep cooperation between China and Egypt. The "Belt and Road Initiative" and the "Egypt Vision 2030" have been coordinated well， and the relationship between the two countries has risen steadily， which reflects in the following fields： high-quality policy communication， continuous development of facilities connection， smooth upgrade of trade relations， constant deepening of financial support， and closer ties of people-to-people exchanges. Under the background of the transformation of the international system and the uncertainty of the world， Sino-Egyptian cooperation is characterized by strategic， comprehensive， partnership， pioneering and exemplary. The strategic cooperation between the two countries is not only conducive to the development and stability of China and Egypt， but also conducive to peace and prosperity of Africa and the Middle East. Meanwhile， it is an important practice in building "a human community with a shared future."

2. Pursuing a Flexible and Pragmatic Foreign Policy
After the "January 25 Revolution", Egypt's diplomatic strategy remained pragmatic, even for the Muslim Brotherhood government with strong ideological color, However, due to the particularity of different governments, Egypt's foreign policy also shows some changes.
First, the core of the Egyptian government's diplomatic concern is to restore economic development and maintain national security. The Arab upheaval has led to a significant deterioration of Egypt's economy and security, so how to solve them has become a priority for the Egyptian government, which is also reflected in diplomacy.
As foreign exchange reserves continue to decline, the Egyptian government has to seek economic assistance from foreign powers and international organizations, as well as the Gulf countries, especially Saudi Arabia. Due to the different ideology and development orientation of each government, the choice of its funders and the acquisition of funds are different. Under the rule of the Supreme Council of the National Armed Forces, Egypt obtained USD 2.3 billion in loans from Saudi Arabia, Qatar and Kuwait during the transition period. In fact, Saudi Arabia has long provided economic aid to Egypt in exchange for Egyptian security support. A slight anomaly is that Qatar became extremely active in the Egyptian economy. After Morsi came to power, he also sought external economic assistance, trying to obtain USD 4, 8 billion in loans from the International Monetary Fund, but failed to achieve it. Qatar, an ideologically close parterner, promised to lend him USD 8 billion, which was ultimately unfulfilled. After the military takeover in July 2013, Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates and Kuwait quickly provided huge economic support to Egypt.
For a long time, Egypt has paid a high attention to traditional security, which continued after the "January 25 Revolution". The Egyptian government is extremely concerned about border security and peripheral security, and emphasizes the importance of the military in maintaining national security. The Mubarak government stresses that Egypt is an important force to curb the expansion of political Islamism and safeguard regional security, which is also a vital basis for the foreign policy of the Sisi government. For the post-Mubarak governments, it is an important consideration in diplomacy to solve the deterioration of the security situation on the Sinai Peninsula, whose core is combating terrorism and extremism to ensure the security order of Sinai and maintain the peace agreement between Egypt and Israel. The transitional government led by the Supreme Council of Armed Forces, the Morsi government and the Sisi government all stressed respect for the Egypt-Israel Peace Treaty signed in 1979. However, the degree of different governments to fight against extremism is not the same. Generally speaking, the Sisi government is the strongest, the Morsi government is relatively loose, and the transitional government is in the middle. The situation in Libya is another important security concern of the Egyptian government. Through cooperation with Algeria, Tunisia and other countries, Egypt not only jointly patrols the border with Libya and Tunisia, supports the United Arab Emirates to carry out air strikes against the "Islamic state branch" of Libya, but also directly supports the secular Haftar "government", and holds the Libyan peace dialogue conference in Cairo in February 2017.

We are witnessing major changes unfolding in the world， changes unprecedented in a century. With the in-depth development of world multipolarization， economic globalization， social informatization and cultural diversity， peace， development， cooperation and mutual benefit have become the common aspirations of human society; and it is the common wish of people from all countries to build a community with a shared future for mankind. At the same time， humankind is faced with many common challenges， typified by fierce power politics among major countries， continuous regional conflicts， terrorism， development imbalance， climate change， rising unilateralism and protectionism. China， as the largest developing country in the world， is a builder， contributor and upholder of the cause of peace and development of mankind. The 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China held in October 2017 has led China to a new great journey of development. Guided by Chinese President Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era， the Chinese people are making continued efforts to achieve the Two Centenary Goals of China and the Chinese dream of the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation， and to make new and greater contributions to mankind. Africa， he continent with the largest number of developing countries， is one of the important forces in safeguarding world peace and promoting global development In recent years， Africa has made the admirable advances on the road of pursuing sustainable self-development and strength through unity， changing from a "hopeless continent" for the West to a "continent with a future full of hope"， and a "running lion". African countries are actively exploring development paths that suit their own national conditions， and the African people are forging ahead to realize The Agenda 2063 and the African dream of peace and prosperity.
China and Africa boast a deep-running friendship and have long formed a community with a shared future. China attaches great importance to the development of China-Africa relations. In March 2013， Xi Jinping visited Africa， also his first trip abroad as national leader. He also chose Africa for his first overseas visit in July 2018 after he was elected to a second term. Over the past six years， Xi has visited the African continent four times and arrived in eight African countries， including Tanzania， South Africa and Senegal， showing the world that China cherishes the traditional friendship with Africa and values highly the continent and China-Africa relations. In 2018， the Beijing Summit of the Forum on China-Africa Cooperation was successfully held. At this summit， Xi revealed the essential characteristics of China-Africa unity and cooperation， pointed out the direction of bilateral ties， and outlined the specific paths for the common development of China and Africa He has greatly improved and innovated the theoretical framework and ideological system of China's policy toward Africa， which has then become an important theoretical innovation of Xi Jinping thought on diplomacy of socialism with Chinese characteristics for a new era and provided a strong political principle and guide for the development of China-Africa relations in the future. This summit marks another milestone in the history of China-Africa relations.
