Chinese enterprises in Egypt invest in building green manufacturing bases to support green development in China Egypt cooperation

In the Khorsh Industrial Zone by the Suez Canal, a vast land is about to witness a green transformation. On February 2, 2026, China Leading Technology Company and the Suez Canal Economic Zone Authority of Egypt officially signed a contract in Cairo, the new administrative capital, to invest 63.9 million US dollars to build a green industry comprehensive production base integrating electric vehicles, lithium batteries, and water treatment membranes. This marks a new stage of China Egypt cooperation towards green high-end manufacturing.

Step by step construction, building a green closed-loop system

The project plan will be implemented in three phases to form a complete green industry chain. The first phase focuses on electric vehicle manufacturing, aiming to achieve large-scale production of new energy transportation vehicles in Egypt and fill the industry gap; Phase II construction of lithium battery production line to enhance local manufacturing capacity for clean energy storage; The third phase introduces advanced water treatment membrane technology to provide solutions for water resource management. The three phases of the project are interrelated and are expected to create over 1000 job opportunities, driving technological upgrades and supply chain development in Egypt.

Strategic fit, recognized by the Egyptian side

Walid Jamaldin, Chairman of the Suez Canal Economic Zone Authority in Egypt, highly praised the project, stating that it perfectly aligns with Egypt's national strategy. He stated that this high-tech industry layout is highly consistent with Egypt's goal of promoting green economic transformation. It not only provides demonstration, but also promotes technological upgrading of related industries, reduces dependence on imported products, and is a key measure for industrial upgrading in the economic zone.

The construction of this base has multiple strategic significance. For Egypt, it helps to form a localized production capacity for the new energy industry and build a new energy manufacturing base in the Middle East and Africa; For the economic zone, it has established a model of attracting investment through quality, enhancing global investment attractiveness; For China Egypt cooperation, it marks the upgrade of economic and trade cooperation between the two countries to a higher technological content and more sustainable direction. It is a practical achievement of the the Belt and Road Initiative in the field of green economy and highlights the commitment to jointly address global challenges.

The green picture of China Egypt cooperation is slowly unfolding from the banks of the Nile River to the Suez Canal. This investment not only demonstrates the strength and responsibility of Chinese enterprises, but also serves as a vivid portrayal of China Egypt sharing development opportunities and building a green future together.Editor/Gao Xue
