On the 25th, the delivery ceremony of the first sample of the Egyptian satellite II assisted by the Chinese government was held at the Integration testing (AIT) center of the Egyptian Space City satellite assembly. This delivery makes Egypt the first African country to have satellite assembly, integration, and testing capabilities. Liao Liqiang, the Chinese ambassador to Egypt, said that this year marks the tenth anniversary of the "the Belt and Road" initiative. The Egypt Assistance Satellite II project is another landmark achievement of the joint construction of the "the Belt and Road" between China and Egypt, and is a milestone in the field of China Egypt space cooperation. Egypt is the first country in China to deliver international satellite cooperation projects overseas, the first country to complete large-scale full-scale overseas experiments, and will also become the first African country to have complete satellite AIT capabilities. During the implementation of the project, the Chinese side provided personnel training for Egypt, and Egypt was deeply involved in satellite design, testing, assembly, review and other links. Later, it will implement independent measurement and control. Relevant cooperation has laid a solid foundation for the development of Egypt's space industry, and will also drive the development of Space technology on the African continent. Egypt's Minister of International Cooperation, Rania Masaad, stated that significant progress has been made in China's aid to the AIT Center and the Second Satellite Project in Egypt, greatly enhancing Egypt's independent research and development capabilities in satellites and satellite measurement and control, making Egypt a leading country in the aviation and aerospace field in the African region. Egypt highly appreciates and sincerely appreciates this. The Chief Executive Officer of the Egyptian Space Agency, Sharif Sidki, said that China's aid to Egypt's AIT Center is Egypt's first center to develop the localization of its satellite industry, which will enable Egypt to play a leading role in transferring satellite technology to Africa. The Egypt-2 satellite can provide high-resolution images and will contribute to supporting Egypt's "2030 Vision" sustainable development strategy. (New News Agency)
