中国和埃及建立全面战略伙伴关系 广东省发现一例人感染H5N6的病例

China and Egypt have announced that the two countries have upgraded bilateral relations to a Comprehensive Strategic Partnership.

This comes as Chinese President Xi Jinping holds talks with his visiting Egyptian counterpart Abdel Fattah al-Sisi in Beijing.

In a joint statement, the two presidents pledged to boost political, economic, military, cultural and technological cooperation, along with cooperation on regional and international affairs.

Following the talks, the two presidents officiated at the signing of agreements in areas including economic cooperation, trade, aerospace and energy.

The two leaders also pledged to cooperate on the Silk Road Economic Belt and the 21st-Century Maritime Silk Road Initiatives.

A human case of H5N6 avian flu has been confirmed in Guangdong.

Chinese health authorities say the patient, a 58-year-old man in the provincial capital, Guangzhou, is receiving treatment at a local hospital. He is listed in critical condition.

No symptoms have been reported among any of the people who had close contact to the man, and experts believe this may be an isolated case.

In April, a man in Sichuan died in what is believed to the world's first human infection of the H5N6 strain of the bird flu virus.
