The Egyptian leader made the remarks while meeting with China’s Industry and Information Technology Minister Miao Wei, who attended Sisi’s inauguration ceremony as the envoy of Chinese President Xi Jinping.
Both Egypt and China are ancient civilizations, and enjoy sincere friendship, said the president, adding that the two countries also have huge potential for cooperation.
He also welcomes more Chinese companies to invest in Egypt, and hopes China can continue to support his country, which is at “a special period of history”.
Miao said China is ready to join Egypt in strengthening their coordination over international and regional affairs.
Former army chief Sisi was sworn in at the Supreme Constitutional Court as Egypt’s new president on Sunday, nearly one year after the ouster of Islamist leader Mohamed Morsi.
The 59-year-old Field Marshal defeated his rival leftist politician Hamdeen Sabahy in the three-day polls held in late May with 96.91 per cent of the votes.
