BEIJING, Jan 09 (INP): China will deepen mutual exchanges at international level to fight out terrorism to ensure peace and prosperity world over. This was stated by the spokesperson of the Chinese Foreign Minister Geng Shuang while briefing the newsmen here on Thursday about the just concluded visit of State Councilor Wang Yi to Egypt. During the visit, the two sides decided to fight terrorism and extremism together. They also reached an agreement to deepen exchange in de-radicalization, enhance communication and coordination in international cooperation, and make new contributions to regional and global counter-terrorism cause. The spokesperson further said, Egypt was State Councilor Wang Yi's first stop during his visit to Africa this time, which shows how much they value China-Egypt relations. During this visit, State Councilor Wang Yi met with President Abdul Fatah Al-Sisi and Prime Minister Mostafa Kemal Madbouly, had talks with Foreign Minister Sameh Shoukry and held a new round of strategic dialogue between the two foreign ministries.
