  Seventy years after Egypt became the first Arab and African country to establish diplomatic relations with the People’s Republic of China, Cairo and Beijing are looking to take their relationship into a new era. Chinese President Xi Jinping’s two-day state visit to Egypt, held September 1–2 at the invitation of President Abdel Fattah El-Sisi, was focused on the future of the two countries’ relations.  During their talks, Presidents El-Sisi and Xi reviewed the significant expansion of bilateral relations, particularly since the two countries established their Comprehensive Strategic Partnership in 2014.  El-Sisi and his Chinese counterpart also agreed to launch the third phase of the expansion of China-Egypt TEDA Suez Economic and Trade Cooperation Zone in the Suez Canal Economic Zone (SCZone). More than 200 companies have already invested in the zone.

Egypt’s Minister of Labor, Hassan Shehata Radad, said Sunday, 30 August, that his ministry was prioritizing efforts to clear obstacles for young Egyptians entering the workforce, with vocational training emerging as a central government focus. Radad said the government was working to prepare Egyptian workers to compete not only domestically but in Arab and European labor markets, calling training a top priority for improving worker efficiency. In particular, Egyptians working abroad contributed USD 47.3 billion (EGP 2.4 trillion) in remittances in the fiscal year 2025-2026, up from USD 36.5 billion (EGP 1.8 trillion) in 2024-2025.  Remittances have become a critical source of hard currency for Egypt, driven primarily by Egyptian workers abroad sending money home. In recent years, they have emerged as a pillar of the national economy, now exceeding combined earnings from tourism and the Suez Canal. The minister pointed to a sharp decline in unemployment in Egypt as evidence of progress, noting that the unemployment rate had fallen from more than 13 percent in 2013-14 to roughly 8 percent today. He also cited a package of incentives designed to support investors and ease bureaucratic hurdles, including the formationContinue reading "Egypt Prioritizes Worker Training to Compete in Europe, Arab Markets"
