CAIRO, July 9 (Xinhua) -- Chinese Premier Li Qiang said here on Wednesday that China and Egypt, as important members of the Global South, should further strengthen strategic coordination to safeguard their common interests.

Together, the two countries have set a model for solidarity, unity, self-reliance, mutual benefit, and mutual support among major developing countries, Li said.

Against the backdrop of accelerated global transformation unseen in a century and the emergence of various challenges, China and Egypt, as key members of the Global South, should also jointly promote peace and prosperity, said the Chinese premier.
