中国与埃及友好合作

　　《中国与埃及友好合作（英文版）》：　　2. Pursuing a Flexible and Pragmatic Foreign Policy　　After the "January 25 Revolution", Egypt's diplomatic strategy remained pragmatic, even for the Muslim Brotherhood government with strong ideological color, However, due to the particularity of different governments, Egypt's foreign policy also shows some changes.　　First, the core of the Egyptian government's diplomatic concern is to restore economic development and maintain national security. The Arab upheaval has led to a significant deterioration of Egypt's economy and security, so how to solve them has become a priority for the Egyptian government, which is also reflected in diplomacy.　　As foreign exchange reserves continue to decline, the Egyptian government has to seek economic assistance from foreign powers and international organizations, as well as the Gulf countries, especially Saudi Arabia. Due to the different ideology and development orientation of each government, the choice of its funders and the acquisition of funds are different. Under the rule of the Supreme Council of the National Armed Forces, Egypt obtained USD 2.3 billion in loans from Saudi Arabia, Qatar and Kuwait during the transition period. In fact, Saudi Arabia has long provided economic aid to Egypt in exchange for Egyptian security support. A slight anomaly is that Qatar became extremely active in the Egyptian economy. After Morsi came to power, he also sought external economic assistance, trying to obtain USD 4, 8 billion in loans from the International Monetary Fund, but failed to achieve it. Qatar, an ideologically close parterner, promised to lend him USD 8 billion, which was ultimately unfulfilled. After the military takeover in July 2013, Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates and Kuwait quickly provided huge economic support to Egypt.　　For a long time, Egypt has paid a high attention to traditional security, which continued after the "January 25 Revolution". The Egyptian government is extremely concerned about border security and peripheral security, and emphasizes the importance of the military in maintaining national security. The Mubarak government stresses that Egypt is an important force to curb the expansion of political Islamism and safeguard regional security, which is also a vital basis for the foreign policy of the Sisi government. For the post-Mubarak governments, it is an important consideration in diplomacy to solve the deterioration of the security situation on the Sinai Peninsula, whose core is combating terrorism and extremism to ensure the security order of Sinai and maintain the peace agreement between Egypt and Israel. The transitional government led by the Supreme Council of Armed Forces, the Morsi government and the Sisi government all stressed respect for the Egypt-Israel Peace Treaty signed in 1979. However, the degree of different governments to fight against extremism is not the same. Generally speaking, the Sisi government is the strongest, the Morsi government is relatively loose, and the transitional government is in the middle. The situation in Libya is another important security concern of the Egyptian government. Through cooperation with Algeria, Tunisia and other countries, Egypt not only jointly patrols the border with Libya and Tunisia, supports the United Arab Emirates to carry out air strikes against the "Islamic state branch" of Libya, but also directly supports the secular Haftar "government", and holds the Libyan peace dialogue conference in Cairo in February 2017.　　……
