国家主席习近平在埃及媒体上发表署名文章(双语)

中华人民共和国主席 习近平

H.E. Xi Jinping, President of the People’s Republic of China

应塞西总统邀请，我即将对埃及进行国事访问。这是我担任中华人民共和国主席后第二次踏上埃及这片被尼罗河滋养的沃土。埃及有谚语说：“喝过尼罗河的水，一定还会再来。”10年前我访问埃及，埃及古老厚重的文明、蓬勃向上的气象给我留下深刻印象。再次前往，我期待同塞西总统畅叙友谊、共商合作，为深化中埃全面战略伙伴关系擘画新蓝图。

At the invitation of His Excellency President Abdel Fattah El-Sisi, I will be paying a state visit to Egypt and, as President of the People’s Republic of China, setting foot for the second time on this land nourished by the Nile. Just as an Egyptian proverb reads, “Once you drink from the Nile, you are destined to return.” During my last visit ten years ago, I was deeply impressed by the time-honored, profound civilization of this country, together with its booming vitality and upward momentum. This time, I look forward to renewing the friendship and working together with President El-Sisi to explore ways of cooperation and map out a new blueprint for deepening the China-Egypt comprehensive strategic partnership.

“交得其道，千里同好。”中国和埃及同为文明古国，都为人类社会发展贡献了宝贵的精神财富和璀璨的文化瑰宝。长江、黄河和尼罗河分别孕育了中华文明和古埃及文明。瓷丝泛海，锦绣流沙。中埃两大文明虽相距遥远却彼此欣赏，古丝绸之路绵延千年，友好交往的脚步从未停歇。中国的丝绸、瓷器和造纸、冶铸技艺一路西传，埃及的香料、琉璃、天文历法万里东来。埃及福斯塔特遗址出土的一件件来自中国的传世器物，见证了中埃两国人民自古以来的紧密联系和深厚友谊。

As a Chinese saying goes, “A partnership forged with the right approach defies distance.” Known for their age-old civilizations, China and Egypt have each contributed an invaluable intellectual legacy and splendid cultural heritage to the progress of humanity. The Yangtze River and the Yellow River gave birth to the Chinese civilization, and the Nile was the cradle of the ancient Egyptian civilization. With porcelain and silk sailing the seas and traversing the deserts, the vast geographical distance never kept our two civilizations from appreciating each other, and friendly exchanges along the millennium-old ancient Silk Road never stopped. Chinese silk, porcelain, and paper-making, smelting and casting techniques made their way westward, while Egyptian aromatics, glassware and calendrical knowledge journeyed over thousands of miles eastward. The Chinese artifacts unearthed in Fustat attest to the close bonds and deep friendship that have existed between our peoples since ancient times.

70年前，中国和埃及正式建交，开启了新中国同阿拉伯和非洲国家友好合作的大门。70年栉风沐雨，中埃关系历经国际风云变幻考验，始终航向不偏、成色不变、动力不减，成为中阿、中非集体合作的样板和发展中国家友好相处、团结协作的典范。

Seventy years ago, China and Egypt officially established diplomatic relations, marking the start of New China’s friendly cooperation with Arab and African countries. For seven decades, the China-Egypt relationship has braved wind and rain, and withstood the test of the changing international landscape. It has stayed on the right course, remained robust as ever, and sustained a strong momentum. It is a fine example for China’s cooperation with Arab states and Africa on the whole, and for friendship, solidarity and collaboration between developing countries. 

——中埃始终是和衷共济的亲密兄弟。在追求民族独立、反对帝国主义和殖民主义的斗争中，两国人民结下深厚情谊。在埃及收回苏伊士运河主权的斗争中，中国有力声援。在新中国恢复联合国合法席位的斗争中，埃及同众多亚非拉国家坚定投下赞成票。当前，中埃双方坚定支持彼此走符合自身国情的发展道路，坚定支持彼此核心利益和重大关切，为两国全面战略伙伴关系发展奠定坚实基础。

— China and Egypt have always been close brothers standing by each other. In the struggle for national independence and against imperialism and colonialism, the people of our two countries forged profound friendship. China firmly supported Egypt’s sovereignty over the Suez Canal, and Egypt, alongside the majority of Asian, African, and Latin American and Caribbean countries, voted unequivocally in favor of the restoration of the lawful seat of the People’s Republic of China in the United Nations. Currently, our two sides firmly support each other in pursuing development paths suited to our respective national conditions, and firmly support each other on core interests and major concerns. All this has laid a solid foundation for the China-Egypt comprehensive strategic partnership.

——中埃始终是合作共赢的可靠伙伴。埃及是中国在阿拉伯世界和非洲的重要贸易和投资伙伴，是最早参与共建“一带一路”的国家之一。10年前，我和塞西总统共同揭牌的中埃苏伊士经贸合作区给当地带来大量投资和就业，助力埃及加速现代化进程。中国企业在埃及建成非洲第一高楼和非洲第一条城际电气化轻轨，埃及鲜橙成为中国对非洲建交国实施零关税后首批进入中国市场的非洲产品，双方各领域互利合作成果惠及两国千家万户。

— China and Egypt have always been reliable partners in win-win cooperation. Egypt is China’s major trading and investment partner in the Arab world and Africa, and one of the first countries to participate in Belt and Road cooperation. As early as ten years ago, President El-Sisi and I jointly unveiled the China-Egypt Suez Economic and Trade Cooperation Zone. The project has drawn substantial investment, created a large number of local jobs, and helped in Egypt’s endeavor to expedite its modernization. In other fields, fruits of mutually beneficial cooperation — from Africa’s tallest building and first intercity electric light rail built in Egypt by Chinese enterprises, to fresh Egyptian oranges heading for the Chinese market as the first African produce to capitalize on China’s zero-tariff policy for the African countries having diplomatic relations with it — are shared by countless households in both countries.

——中埃始终是友好互鉴的成功典范。埃及是首个同新中国签署文化合作协定的阿拉伯和非洲国家，两国人文交流丰富多彩。大埃及博物馆等吸引大批中国游客“打卡”，去年上海博物馆举办的“古埃及文明大展”一票难求，中文教学落地埃及40多所中学，职业教育合作惠及埃及万千民众。两大文明跨越时空持久双向奔赴，不断书写中埃两国人民世代友好篇章。

— China and Egypt have always been the role models of friendship and mutual learning. Egypt is the first among both Arab nations and African countries to sign an agreement on cultural cooperation with New China, and our people-to-people exchanges have been diverse and vibrant. The Grand Egyptian Museum is a must-visit for Chinese tourists, so much so that the exhibition “The Civilization of Ancient Egypt” in Shanghai Museum saw tickets sell out in seconds. In Egypt, the Chinese language is taught in more than 40 middle schools, and cooperation with China on vocational education has benefited numerous Egyptians. Across time and space, the two civilizations have been reaching out to each other, adding new chapters of everlasting friendship between the two peoples.

——中埃始终是平等互信的真诚朋友。在1955年召开的万隆会议上，中埃两国积极支持反对帝国主义和殖民主义斗争，共同推动亚非团结。当前，中埃两国在维护国际秩序、倡导公平正义、践行多边主义等方面有着共同的目标和追求，双方都坚定支持巴勒斯坦人民恢复民族合法权利的正义事业，都致力于推动热点问题政治解决、实现地区和平稳定，彰显全球南方国家联合自强、坚守公平正义的责任和担当。

— China and Egypt have always been sincere friends committed to equality and mutual trust. At the Bandung Conference in 1955, our two countries actively supported the anti-imperial and anti-colonial struggle, and jointly advanced Asian-African solidarity. Today, China and Egypt have shared goals and common aspiration in upholding international order, championing fairness and justice, and practicing multilateralism. Both sides firmly support the just cause of the Palestinian people in restoring their legitimate national rights, and both are committed to facilitating the political settlement of hotspot issues and realizing peace and stability in the region. This demonstrates our commitment, as Global South countries, to seeking strength through unity and upholding fairness and justice.

中埃两国都处在发展振兴的关键阶段。中国“十五五”开局良好，正在奋力开创中国式现代化新局面。埃及“新共和国”建设如火如荼，正向着“2030愿景”阔步前行。中方愿同埃方一道，深化全面战略伙伴关系，推进中埃命运共同体建设，携手实现现代化。

Our two countries are each at a critical stage of development and national revitalization. China saw its 15th Five-Year Plan for economic and social development getting off to a good start, and is striving to open up new ground in Chinese modernization. Egypt is making vigorous efforts in building the New Republic and forging ahead toward its Vision 2030. The Chinese side is ready to work with the Egyptian side to deepen the comprehensive strategic partnership, advance the building of a community with a shared future between the two countries, and join hands in realizing modernization.

我们要增进互信，做传承友谊的楷模。中埃友好由两国老一辈领导人亲手缔造，传承好、发展好、弘扬好中埃友谊是我们这代人的光荣责任。要继续支持彼此核心利益和重大关切，密切各领域各层级交流合作，把中埃友好的接力棒一代代传下去。

We need to enhance mutual trust and serve as a model in carrying forward friendship. The friendship between our two countries was forged by the elder generations of our leaders. It is our honor and responsibility to carry forward, develop and promote this friendship. Our two sides should continue supporting each other on core interests and major concerns, and deepen exchanges and cooperation at various levels and across all sectors to ensure that the baton of friendship is passed on from generation to generation.

我们要互利共赢，做携手发展的标杆。中国拥有全球最完整、规模最大的工业体系，在资金、技术、装备等方面具备优势。埃及人口众多、资源丰富、市场广阔。双方要深化发展战略对接，高质量共建“一带一路”，积极挖掘合作潜力，拓展务实合作空间，为中埃互利合作注入不竭动力。

We need to pursue mutual benefit and win-win cooperation and set a benchmark for joint development. China has the world’s largest and most complete industrial system, and is strong in capital, technology and equipment. Egypt has a large population, abundant resources and a vast market. Our two sides should forge greater synergy in development strategies, engage in high-quality Belt and Road cooperation, proactively tap the potential and expand the scope of pragmatic collaboration in a bid to provide sustained impetus to the mutually beneficial cooperation.

我们要各美其美，做文明交流的榜样。中埃两大文明古国应该弘扬平等、互鉴、对话、包容的文明观，践行全球文明倡议，积极守护人类文化遗产，共同推动不同文明和谐相处。要深化教育、旅游、科技、卫生、体育、考古等交流合作，拉紧两国人民相知相亲纽带，为中埃全面战略伙伴关系发展不断注入新动能，为推动构建人类命运共同体汇聚更多文明力量。

We need to take pride in who we are while setting an example for exchanges and mutual learning. As two great civilizations, China and Egypt should champion equality, mutual learning, dialogue and inclusiveness among civilizations, implement the Global Civilization Initiative, actively protect humanity’s cultural heritage, and jointly promote the harmonious coexistence of various civilizations. Our two sides should deepen exchanges and cooperation in areas such as education, tourism, science and technology, health, sports and archaeology, forge a stronger bond of mutual understanding and affinity between our two peoples, with a view to injecting new momentum into the China-Egypt comprehensive strategic partnership, and harnessing the strengths of diverse civilizations to promote the building of a community with a shared future for humanity.

我们要并肩前行，做维护公平正义的先锋。当前，世界百年变局加速演进，国际形势变乱交织。中埃两国同为发展中大国和全球南方重要国家，要践行真正的多边主义，加强多边协作，共同落实好四大全球倡议，积极维护世界和平稳定、捍卫国际公平正义。

We need to press ahead side by side and be pioneers in upholding fairness and justice. Profound changes unseen in a century are unfolding at a faster pace, amid a volatile international landscape. As both major developing countries and important Global South nations, China and Egypt should vigorously uphold world peace and stability, and international fairness and justice by practicing true multilateralism, enhancing multilateral coordination, and working together to deliver on the four global initiatives on development, security, civilization and governance.

我们要携手同心，做中阿、中非合作的引领者。作为阿拉伯和非洲大国，埃及在推动中阿、中非集体合作中发挥着重要作用。中方愿同埃方一道努力，扩展中埃成熟合作示范效应，发挥埃及联通阿拉伯世界、辐射非洲大陆的独特区位优势，深入落实构建中阿“五大合作格局”、中非携手推进现代化十大伙伴行动，推动中阿、中非合作与时俱进、行稳致远。

We need to join hands to lead the way in China-Arab and China-Africa cooperation. As a major country in both the Arab world and Africa, Egypt plays an important role in promoting the collective cooperation between China and Arab states, and between China and African countries. The Chinese side is ready to work with the Egyptian side to enhance the demonstration effect of our well-established cooperation, leverage Egypt’s unique location in linking the Arab world and reaching across the African continent, further implement the proposal on building “five cooperation frameworks” between China and Arab states and follow up on the ten partnership actions for modernization between China and Africa. This will ensure that China-Arab and China-Africa cooperation keeps pace with the times, makes steady progress and goes a long way.

风雨同舟七十载，踔厉奋发新征程。中方愿同埃方一道，不忘初心、继往开来，在繁荣复兴之路上相互支持、砥砺前行，共同开创各自国家发展和两国关系更加美好的未来。

For 70 years, China and Egypt have stood by each other rain or shine. Now our two countries are embarking on a new journey with enterprise and fortitude. The Chinese side is ready to work with the Egyptian side to stay true to the shared aspiration of our two countries, build on our past achievements, support each other and forge ahead on the path toward prosperity and rejuvenation, and strive for a better tomorrow in both our respective national development and our bilateral relations.
