A New Stage in China-Egypt Relations

The Middle East Review of International Affairs published in its Winter 2016 edition a study titled "Comprehensive Strategic Partnership: A New State in China-Egypt Relations" by Mordechai Chaziza, Ashkelon Academic College in Israel.

The author argues that since 2014 China has entered a closer political and economic relationship with Egypt. While economic interests are the primary consideration, the strategic potential of Egypt's geographic location and the size of its economic market make it a promising partner for China's wider ambitions in the region.
