The Chinese people are friends of the Egyptian people, he said.

The Chinese leader, on his part, welcomed Morsi and wished him a good stay in his country along with the Egyptian delegation.

He voiced belief that the visit will push forward bilateral relations and will be a good opportunity for exchanging views on development and various regional and international issues of mutual concern.
