Sino Egypt cooperation in one belt, one road, and a stable future

2022-01-18

The novel coronavirus pneumonia has been in the field for nearly two years. The virus of delta and the Olympic Games has been seriously affected by cooperation in various fields of the world. Against this background, one belt, one road, is actively explored by China and Egypt, especially in the Chinese capital enterprises. The Egyptian "2030 visions" are fully integrated on the basis of the prevention and control of epidemic situation, which has been highly praised by all sectors in Egypt. Boost the recovery of tourism and build an industry "benchmark" Before the outbreak, the tourism industry accounted for about 15% of Egypt's GDP and was the main source of employment for about 3.1 million people. The epidemic has caused heavy losses to Egypt's tourism industry. Therefore, in order to help the tourism industry recover rapidly in the post epidemic era, the Egyptian government has taken a number of measures to release the great potential of the tourism industry, such as encouraging government and private sector investment, opening international flights, recording promotional videos and online visiting museums. In order to seize this opportunity, Egyptian tourism industry practitioners have also laid out the post epidemic era, accelerated the renovation of old tourism facilities, or started to build large-scale tourism comprehensive facilities. Chinese enterprises have seized rare opportunities and overcome multiple difficulties in this field, hoping to build themselves into a "benchmark" and "bright spot" in this field. Cairo "City Star" is a large complex integrating shopping malls, hotels, apartments and office buildings. It once had the largest comprehensive shopping mall in Africa and the largest Intercontinental Hotel in the world. At the beginning of 2021, China Chemical Engineering 16th Construction Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "16th chemical construction") undertook the renovation project of Cairo's "City Star", which made this landmark building in Cairo glow with new vitality. "Different from large-scale infrastructure construction projects, the requirements of this project mainly focus on layout design, interior decoration, furniture renovation, etc., and the test is' soft power '." Qu Peng, Minister of the International Department of the 16th Chemical Construction Corporation, said. For example, in terms of layout design, the 16th chemical construction provides some artistic design schemes rich in Chinese elements for the hotel, so that tourists all over the world can experience the beauty of Chinese culture in ancient and modern Egypt; In terms of furniture renovation, in the face of rising global raw material prices and shortage of shipping, Chinese designers provided high-quality and low-cost Chinese furniture raw materials. Their quality and technology were highly praised by Egyptian owners and effectively controlled the cost; In order to do a good job in epidemic prevention and control, the enterprise specially adopts the intelligent access control system of Hikvision, a Chinese enterprise, to automatically detect the temperature and identify the wearing of masks for Chinese and Egyptian employees entering the project, and any abnormalities will be reported in time. Richly endowed by nature, the "one belt, one road" initiative, the "soft Unicom" advantage and the adaptability of Chinese funded enterprises to the sea and transformation and development. Less than nine months after the construction, Sinochem 16 received a letter of thanks from the owner, in which it expressed its affirmation and gratitude for the progress made by the enterprise in overcoming the impact of the epidemic, and looked forward to continuing to complete all objectives with quality and on time in the follow-up construction. Song Jun, manager of 16th Chemical Construction Egypt branch, introduced that the enterprise pays attention to high standards, sustainability and benefiting people's livelihood, and has gradually become a "leader" in Egypt. In Sharm el Sheikh, a world-famous beautiful coastal city, the new "City Star" large complex project has also been successfully implemented. The project covers a total area of 7.5 square kilometers. It is backed by Mount Sinai and faces the Red Sea. Sixteen chemical construction has successfully undertaken the internal decoration of 800 guest rooms and 690 apartments in the two hotels in phase I. It is expected to be completed in June 2023. 2022 marks the centenary of the excavation of Tutankhamun tomb, the most famous archaeological discovery in Egypt, and the opening ceremony of the new greater Egypt museum is expected to be held in the second half of this year, which indicates that Egypt's tourism industry will usher in a recovery. Qu Peng said that China one belt, one road to the Chinese Communist Party, hopes to contribute to the transformation and upgrading of Egypt's tourism industry, and contribute to the cooperation of the two sides. Jointly cope with climate change and Chinese enterprises fill the industrial gap in Egypt In November this year, Egypt will hold the 2022 United Nations Climate Change Conference (cop27) in Sharm el Sheikh. Egypt will help African countries and the most affected countries to quickly take measures to deal with climate change. A few days ago, Egyptian environment minister Yasmin Fouad said in an interview that China is a "key role" in Egypt's bilateral and multilateral relations. He refuted the argument that China's huge investment in Egyptian infrastructure may put Egypt in trouble, and believed that Egypt and China can achieve greater cooperation in the field of energy conservation and emission reduction. Previously, Egypt was plagued by power shortage and frequent blackouts, which has also become the main obstacle to Egypt's transformation to new energy industry. Egyptian President Sisi stressed that "the world is developing in the direction of power linkage, so if we don't catch up, we will miss this progress". He also said that previously, in addition to facing the problem of insufficient power generation, Egypt also had problems in power transmission and distribution. On December 27, 2021, Egyptian President Sisi and Prime Minister madbury inspected the Benban 500kV GIS Substation Project of Egypt Aswan Benban solar farm interconnection project undertaken by China XD Group, and spoke highly of the progress of the project and its significance to the development of Egypt. During the inspection, Sisi listened to the introduction of experts from the Ministry of electric power and renewable energy to the power station, learned about the contribution of China XD Group to the project construction, praised the quality and reliability of the power station in this class, and said that the project is one of the most important infrastructure projects for new and renewable energy power generation in Egypt. The completion of the project will effectively ensure the external power transmission of the solar energy industrial park in Aswan, Egypt, and effectively meet the power demand of industry and residents in Aswan, which will further help Egypt to enter the ranks of developed countries in terms of power and renewable energy. It is reported that since the establishment of the joint venture "West Power egemac" between China West Power Group and egemac, a subsidiary of the Egyptian Ministry of electric power, in 2009, China West Power Group has undertaken or participated in the completion of 28 66kV to 500kV substation projects of the power generation company under the Egyptian power holding company, the Egyptian transmission company and other Egyptian users, providing 66kV to 500kV power transformers for more than 30 substations More than 100 sets of reactor products. Shi Chen, general manager of the joint venture, introduced that in 2021, the company also undertook the task of local production of 13 220kV 175mva transformers, which marked a significant improvement in the manufacturing capacity of power transformers in Egypt and filled the industrial gap in relevant fields. Ma Chi, deputy general manager of the Middle East and North Africa regional center of Xidian international company, said that in the face of the uncertainty and risks brought by the epidemic, the company met the difficulties and made progress, effectively guaranteed the local power supply in Egypt, escorted Egypt's economic development, energy conservation and emission reduction, indirectly promoted the employment of 3000 local people, and promoted Egypt's talent training and industrial upgrading in the field of power. It can be predicted that Egypt, as a regional energy hub, its development in this field will not only help Egypt actively respond to the challenges brought by climate change, but also help the Middle East and Africa achieve green and low-carbon transformation. According to Machi, this coincides with the development direction of the company. At present, xep egemac is the first manufacturer of power transmission and transformation equipment such as high-voltage switches of 500kV and below, transformers of 220kV and below in Egypt and even the whole Middle East and Africa. Based on Egypt's superior geographical location and China's technical advantages and design and development capacity, the company's business will have the opportunity to radiate the African and Middle East markets, and further expand China XD's share and influence in the Middle East and North Africa regional market centered on Egypt. Looking forward to China Egypt relations, the demonstration significance is obvious At the Symposium on "building a China Africa community of common destiny in a new era and building China Egypt relations into a pilot model for building a China Africa community of common destiny", Liao Liqiang, Chinese ambassador to Egypt, said that 2021 marks the 65th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between China and Egypt. China Egypt relations are the starting point of China Africa relations and represent the height and temperature of China Africa relations, which is of great exemplary significance. At present, the world has entered a period of turbulence and change. Global issues require the international community to transcend differences in different systems, strengthen equal consultation, achieve inclusiveness, mutual trust, coordination and cooperation, and respond more effectively to global challenges. Egyptian Vice Foreign Minister Roza said that significant progress had been made in Egypt China relations and Africa China relations in 2021. Egypt appreciated the historic achievements made by the Chinese people under the leadership of the Communist Party of China since its establishment 100 years ago. Egypt is a comprehensive one, and Egypt is one of the supporters of one belt, one road initiative. The cooperation between China and Egypt is an all-round and three-dimensional cooperation which includes politics, economy, culture, science and technology, security and so on, which enables Egypt to cooperate with Arabia countries in building three sides to make Africa a good place. Former Egyptian Prime Minister Sharaf said that African countries and China have similar historical experiences. As a developing country, China's development achievements have set an example for African countries. It is believed that more developing countries will benefit from China's experience. China's "one belt, one road" initiative, the global development initiative and the 14th Five-Year plan are important policies to promote the building of a community of human destiny. China's cooperation with Africa under this framework will further promote the common development of both sides. The relationship between China and Egypt has experienced the test of wind and rain and has been strengthened over time. Looking forward to 2022, China Egypt cooperation stands at a new historical starting point. With the full cooperation and hard work of all circles in China and Egypt, we will be able to achieve greater success on the road of building a China Africa community of common destiny in a new era.
