Summary / Abstract (Note)China and the Middle East are both cradles of splendid civilizations. For over two thousand years, the network spun by the ancient Silk Road has connected Chinaand the countries in the Middle East at the east and west ends of Eurasia. The two sides enjoy a long history of close exchangesandfriendship, with no historical grievances in the past or conflicts at present. This truly exemplifies what is meant by the saying “Good friends feel close to each other even when they are separated by vast distance.”On 30 May 1956, the People’s Republic of China and the Republic of Egypt officially established diplomatic relations. That was the beginning of diplomatic engagement between New China and Middle Eastern countries. Over the past 60-plus years, the relations between the two sides have been through several stages defined by deepening mutualunderstanding, setbacks and adjustments, build-up of momentum, and majorbreakthroughs. The two sides have helped each other in an evolving world and carried out sincere cooperation for their respective national development. In this process, they have become like-minded friends, mutually beneficial partners, and good brothers who stick together through thick and thin.
