      China's top legislator Zhao Leji met with Prime Minister of Egypt Mostafa Madbouly in Beijing on Tuesday.

      Zhao, chairman of the National People's Congress (NPC) Standing Committee, said China is willing to work with Egypt to align the Belt and Road Initiative with Egypt's Vision 2030, deepen cooperation in fields of infrastructure, industry, culture and tourism, and promote people-to-people exchanges.

      The NPC is willing to strengthen friendly cooperation with the Egyptian parliament and deepen the exchanges of experience in legislation, supervision and other work, he said.

      Egypt abides by the one-China principle, Madbouly said, adding that the country is willing to work with China to deepen cooperation in various fields including the legislative bodies, advance Belt and Road cooperation, and achieve common development.

      Representatives to UN hope for smooth implementation of Gaza ceasefire agreement

      Representatives of many countries to the United States have expressed the hope for a full implementation of the Israel-Hamas ceasefire agreement.

      The agreement, brokered by Qatar, Egypt and the United States, came into effect in Gaza on Sunday. The three-phase agreement is aimed at a "permanent ceasefire between the parties", according to the mediators.

      At a UN Security Council meeting held on Monday, Secretary-General Antonio Guterres praised the conclusion of the agreement between Palestine and Israel of the ceasefire and the exchange of detained persons, but stressed that efforts are still needed to ensure a comprehensive ceasefire, release all detained persons and increase humanitarian assistance.

      Varsen Aghabekian, state minister for foreign affairs and expatriates of Palestine, said in her speech that the Palestinian side hopes the ceasefire agreement could be implemented and that the Palestinian government is ready to resume management in Gaza.

      "We confirm that the Palestinian Government is ready to work with friendly brotherly countries and organizations to assume responsibility for the administration of the Gaza Strip and the West Bank, including restoring basic health, education, water and electricity services, ensuring the return of displaced persons to their homes, and preparing for the reconstruction phase," she said.

      Right before the meeting, several representatives to the United Nations spoke to China Media Group (CMG) and what they said the most was hoping that the implementation of the agreement could hold all the way through.

      "It would be good if it holds," said Vasily Alekseyevich Nebenzya, permanent representative of Russia to the United Nations.

      "We welcome it so far. We hope it holds and we hope that the next steps will be taken," said Munir Akram, a Pakistani diplomat currently serving for the second time as the permanent representative of Pakistan to the UN.

      "We had supported the deal some time ago," said Carolyn Rodrigues-Birkett, permanent representative of Guyana to the UN.
