Chinese glassware manufacturer Deli to invest 70 mln USD in Egypt
Shi Weidong, chairman of the company's board of directors, announced at a groundbreaking ceremony on Wednesday at the China-Egypt TEDA Suez Economic and Trade Cooperation Zone southeast of Cairo.
According to Shi, the project's first phase is expected to achieve the construction of a high-standard glass furnace with a daily melting capacity of 250 tonnes and advanced automated production lines.
"The site will focus on producing high-quality household glassware and aims to become a modern industrial cluster integrating research and development, manufacturing, advanced processing, packaging, logistics, and export of household glassware," Shi said.
Wei Jianqing, general manager of China-Africa TEDA Investment Co., Ltd., the developer of the cooperation zone, said that the large-scale project will create a significant number of high-quality jobs for Egypt and also help advance the country's glass manufacturing technology and enhance its standing in the global industry.
Waleid Gamal El-Dein, chairman of the General Authority of Egypt's Suez Canal Economic Zone (SCZone), said the project is expected to diversify and strengthen Egypt's industrial chain, create jobs for Egyptian youth, and contribute to advancing the country's industrial development.
According to a statement issued by the SCZone on Wednesday, the project will cover an area of 120,000 square meters and be built in two phases. The first phase is expected to be inaugurated in the second half of 2026 and create 500 jobs.

Trump says US will start talks with China on TikTok deal this week
ABOARD AIR FORCE ONE: U.S. President Donald Trump said on Friday he will start talking to China on Monday or Tuesday about a possible TikTok deal. He said the United States 'pretty much' has a deal on the sale of the TikTok short-video app. 'I think we're gonna start Monday or to China, perhaps President Xi or one of his representatives, but we would we pretty much have a deal,' Trump told reporters on Air Force One. Last month, Trump extended to September 17 a deadline for China-based ByteDance to divest the U.S. assets of TikTok. A deal had been in the works this spring to spin off TikTok's U.S. operations into a new U.S.-based firm, majority-owned and operated by U.S. investors, but it was put on hold after China indicated it would not approve it following Trump's announcements of steep tariffs on Chinese goods. Trump said the United States will probably have to get a deal approved by China. When asked how confident he was that China would agree to a deal, he said, 'I'm not confident, but I think so. President Xi and I have a great relationship, and I think it's good for them. I think the deal is good for China and it's good for us.' - REUTERSPIX
