中国国家主席习近平本周访问埃及，于周二晚间抵达开罗机场，计划停留三天1。这是习近平十年来首次访问埃及，也是2022年访问沙特阿拉伯以来首次回到中东地区1。此次访问期间，习近平与埃及总统塞西举行会谈，旨在加强两国经济和外交关系1。
中国通过多种方式深化在中东的影响力。中国对埃及的投资已超过100亿美元，两国年贸易额约200亿美元1。在军事合作方面，中国和埃及于8月举行了多日空军演习，这是首次对中国J-16战斗机进行实战演习1。此外，中国还通过外交调停扩大影响——2023年中国成功调停伊朗和沙特阿拉伯恢复外交关系1，并购买伊朗80%以上的石油出口1。埃及于2023年获邀加入金砖国家集团1，进一步加强了与中国为首的发展中国家联盟的联系。这些举措反映了中国作为美国全球竞争对手，正在中东地区争取更大话语权和影响力1。
Chinese President Xi Jinping arrived in Cairo on Tuesday evening for a three-day visit to Egypt, marking his first trip to the Middle East since traveling to Saudi Arabia in 2022 and his first visit to Egypt in a decade.1 During the trip, Xi held talks with Egyptian President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi as part of China's broader effort to deepen its economic and diplomatic presence in the region amid competition with the United States for global influence.1
China has invested more than $10 billion in Egypt, with bilateral annual trade reaching approximately $20 billion.1 This economic engagement complements China's expanding strategic footprint across the Middle East through infrastructure investment, regional dispute mediation, and military cooperation.1 In August, China and Egypt conducted a multi-day air force exercise that included the first operational deployment of China's J-16 fighter jets.1 Additionally, Egypt was invited to join the BRICS group in 2023, further integrating it into China's institutional frameworks.1
China's broader Middle East strategy reflects its growing geopolitical ambitions in the region. In 2023, China brokered the restoration of diplomatic relations between Iran and Saudi Arabia, a significant diplomatic achievement.1 China also purchases over 80 percent of Iran's oil exports, giving it substantial economic leverage in the region.1
