Chinese PM to visit Egypt amid growing political, economic, military ties - Foreign Affairs
Chinese Premier Li Qiang will begin a two-day visit to Egypt on 9 July, following his attendance at the BRICS Summit in Brazil, the Chinese Foreign Ministry confirmed on Wednesday. The visit comes at the invitation of Egyptian Prime Minister Mostafa Madbouly and follows a period of intensified diplomatic and economic engagement between the two countries. In May, Madbouly publicly welcomed an anticipated visit by the Chinese president and praised Beijing's support for Egypt in international forums. That same month, President Abdel-Fattah El-Sisi visited Beijing, where he met with Chinese President Xi Jinping. The two leaders reaffirmed a five-year framework for cooperation and marked the 10th anniversary of elevating their relationship to a comprehensive strategic partnership. During the meeting, both sides agreed to prioritize technology transfer and industrial investment as part of broader economic collaboration. Egypt and China have a long history of diplomatic relations. Egypt was the first Arab and African nation to establish diplomatic relations with China in 1956. Economic ties China and Egypt have strengthened economic ties in recent years, with Cairo seeking a larger share of Chinese investment in Africa. In May, Madbouly expressed hope that Egypt would benefit from the $52 billion in African investment announced at the China-Africa Cooperation Forum. Chinese companies are involved in several large-scale projects in Egypt, including infrastructure development, port expansion, and the development of the electric railway system. The Central Business District in the New Administrative Capital is also being developed with Chinese involvement. According to Egypt's Central Agency for Public Mobilization and Statistics (CAPMAS), trade between the two countries reached a peak of $16.6 billion in 2022. In Q4 2024, China was Egypt's largest trading partner, with bilateral trade reaching $4.31 billion, surpassing the United States at $2 billion, according to the Cabinet's Information and Decision Support Center (IDSC). The General Authority for Investment and Free Zones (GAFI) reports that 2,800 Chinese companies operate in Egypt, with total investments exceeding $8 billion. These include firms such as OPPO, Huawei, Midea, and Haier. GAFI is working to attract additional Chinese investment in sectors such as automotive manufacturing, textiles, electronics, renewable energy, and artificial intelligence, per the authority's CEO, Hossam Heiba. Plans are underway to establish a Chinese textile zone in Minya Governorate, in collaboration with the China National Textile and Apparel Council, under the export-supportive free zone system. Three Chinese companies — Haier, Midea, and Shen Feng — have been granted the golden license, consolidating all approvals required to establish and operate their businesses. In May, GAC Automotive announced a $300 million investment to build a car manufacturing plant in the country. Trade between Egypt and China rose from $11.9 billion in January 2022 to $15.7 billion by January 2024. Egypt is also a participant in China's Belt and Road Initiative, through which it is seeking to upgrade infrastructure in energy, transport, and communications. Military ties Military cooperation between Egypt and China has also expanded. In April, the two countries held their first joint air force drills—Eagles of Civilisation 2025—at the Wadi Abu Rish Air Base near the Gulf of Suez. According to Egypt's Ministry of Defence, the exercise included joint air sorties, combat simulations, and training on air operations planning. China's Ministry of National Defence described the drill as a milestone in military cooperation between the two countries. Follow us on: Facebook Instagram Whatsapp Short link:

Saudi-based Ninja raises $250 million in fresh funding, reaching a $1.5 billion valuation and joining the region's growing unicorn ranks. Jul 02, 2025 Saudi delivery platform Ninja has officially become the Kingdom's fastest-growing unicorn after closing a $250 million funding round that pushed its valuation to $1.5 billion. The round was led by Riyad Capital and comes just three years after the company's founding in 2022. Founded by Ebrahim Al-Jassim - also behind food delivery pioneer HungerStation - Ninja offers fast delivery services across Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, Kuwait, and Qatar, catering to groceries, pet supplies, and household essentials. The platform has processed millions of orders and is positioning itself for a public listing by 2027. The funding milestone places Ninja alongside other GCC unicorns such as Tamara and Tabby, reinforcing Saudi Arabia's growing influence in the MENA startup ecosystem. Despite a global VC slowdown, Saudi Arabia continues to see robust investment activity, with the first quarter of 2025 alone seeing nearly $400 million in startup funding. Ninja's model of hyper-fast, on-demand logistics aligns with the Kingdom's Vision 2030 goals, which aim to diversify the economy through innovation, tech infrastructure, and local entrepreneurship. The new capital is expected to accelerate Ninja's expansion and strengthen its operational capacity across the Gulf.
