Secretary general of the Cairo-based Egyptian-Chinese Commerce Chamber Diaa Helmy said China’s promotion of win-win cooperation has made the country a leader in the world’s economy.

The country has kept its own pace while struggling to fight external economic and trade conflicts, releasing more potential for global economic cooperation and investment, Helmy added.
