Recently, Mr. Wang Chao, President of the Chinese People’s Institute of Foreign Affairs (CPIFA), wrote to Ambassador Ezzat Saad, Director of Egyptian Council for Foreign Affairs (ECFA) to express the sympathy and solidarity from China when the COVID-19 pandemic is spreading in Egypt. On March 19th, Amb. Saad wrote back to President Wang Chao to express his congratulations on China’s successful campaign in fighting COVID-19.

He says in his letter that he personally and all the Egyptians are confident in China’s capacity to defeat the virus due to the wisdom, patience and the scientific approach taken by the government and the people of China. It’s no wonder that while the epidemic is increasing in all the countries in the world, it is decreasing only in China. China has a lot offer to the international community as a whole in its fight against this virus.

Dear Mr. President/ Wang Chao

President of CPIFA-Chinese People’s Institute of Foreign Affairs

 

Greetings from Cairo,

First of all, please accept my apology for not replying in due course because I have been in a mission abroad for four weeks (from Feb. 14th till March 15th 2020).

Mr. President, on behalf of the Egyptian Council for Foreign Affairs (ECFA), I would like to congratulate the Chinese government, the Chinese people and CPIFA, in your person, for their successful campaign in fighting (COVID-19).

In fact, I personally, and all the Egyptians, were confident in China’s capacity to defeat the virus due to the wisdom, patience and the scientific approach taken by the government and the people of China in this regard. It’s no wonder that while the epidemic is increasing in all the countries in the world, it is decreasing only in China. That is why China has a lot offer to the international Community as a whole in its fight against this virus.

I can assure you Mr. President that, the cooperation between our two institutions have been ,and will remain, very productive for both parties and ECFA is keen to make it stronger in the future for the benefit of our two friendly countries.

With my very Best Regards,

Ambassador/Dr. Ezzat Saad

Director of ECFA
