President Xi Jinping will attend the Shanghai Cooperation Organization summit in the Kyrgyz capital of Bishkek as part of an official state visit, China's foreign ministry announced on Wednesday. The summit will be followed by a subsequent state visit to Egypt, with the entire trip spanning from August 30 to September 3.
The dual visits underscore China's continued engagement with regional partners through the SCO, a security and economic bloc comprising eight member states across Central and South Asia. The summit in Bishkek is expected to address issues of mutual concern to member nations, though specific agenda items have not been detailed.
Xi's travel to Egypt marks another significant stop in the president's diplomatic calendar, reinforcing China's ties with the North African nation and its strategic position in the Middle East. The visits demonstrate Beijing's commitment to strengthening relationships with both Central Asian and Middle Eastern partners.
