Winson’s Egypt Office Supports the China (Nanjing)–Egypt (Cairo) Economic and Trade Cooperation Conference

Recently, Hongbo Zhou, Secretary of the Nanjing Municipal Party Committee, led a Nanjing municipal delegation to Egypt for friendly exchanges and economic and trade talks. As a key activity of this visit, the China (Nanjing) – Egypt (Cairo) Economic and Trade Cooperation Exchange Conference was held in Cairo. Attendees includedLiqiang Liao, Chinese Ambassador to Egypt; Mohamed Awad, CEO of the Egyptian General Authority for Investment and Free Zones; Ahmed Gamal, Deputy Chairman of the Suez Canal Economic Zone Authority; Xingde Abdel Halim, Deputy Governor of Giza Governorate, Egypt; and Ali Hefny, Vice President of the Egypt-China Friendship Association, among others.

The Egypt Office of Winson Law Firm was deeply involved in organizing the event, coordinating with guests, and facilitating the thematic dialogue sessions. Drawing on its professional service capabilities, local resource network, and long-term research on the Egyptian market, the firm helped facilitate high-quality exchanges and matchmaking between Chinese and Egyptian governments, enterprises, and institutions.

Three thematic dialogues outline a practical path for China-Egypt cooperation

As an important part of the exchange conferencemeeting,Gongpu Xiang, Director of Winson Law Firm's Egypt Office, moderated the dialogue salon session. Conducted in both Chinese and English, the salon brought together representatives from political and business circles and leading industry enterprises from Europe, Egypt, and China, engaging in in-depth discussions on issues such as industrial synergy, financial and resource support, port and shipping logistics, and regional supply chain layout.

The entire salon centered on the practical questions facing Chinese enterprises in Egypt , "how to enter, how to establish a presence, how to operate, and how to extend reach into surrounding markets." Starting from industrial cooperation, the discussion extended to financial and resource support, then focused on port, shipping, and logistics hub development, forming a complete discussion pathway that moved from "projects" to "ecosystems" and from "market opportunities" to "regional layout." This topic design and moderation approach reflects Winson Law Firm's long-term attention to and systematic understanding of Egypt's business environment, the outbound needs of Chinese enterprises, the logic behind implementing industrial projects, and cross-border compliance issues focusing not only on whether enterprises "can enter," but more importantly on how they can achieve stable establishment, compliant operations, resource synergy, and sustained development.

In his moderation,Gongpu Xiang pointed out that moving industrial cooperation from "opportunity" to "implementation" requires not only trade and investment interaction between enterprises, but also coordinated support across multiple elements including finance, supply chains, talent, local partners, port logistics, and regional distribution systems. Egypt's value lies not only in the scale of its own market, but also in its strategic location connecting the Arab world, Africa, and Europe, as well as its comprehensive hub capabilities formed by the Suez Canal, port logistics, industrial zones, and regional trade networks.

For cross-border projects, professional services involve not only identifying risks, designing transaction structures, and resolving disputes, but also effectively connecting government, enterprise, financial, industrial park, logistics, and supply chain resources at critical junctures helping translate cooperation intentions into executable business solutions.
