(251008) -- CAIRO, Oct. 8, 2025 (Xinhua) -- This photo taken on Oct. 5, 2025 shows a view of the Central Business District (CBD) project in the new administrative capital on the outskirts of Cairo, Egypt. As many Chinese families were celebrating the traditional Mid-Autumn Festival, a group of Chinese builders were working on the CBD in Egypt's new administrative capital.
Festivities were in full swing back home, yet the Chinese workers chose to stay on site at the 20-skyscraper CBD, coordinating on-site tasks, finishing interiors, and getting the skyscrapers that will soon define Egypt's future skyline ready for final handover.
The CBD is a landmark project under the China-proposed Belt and Road Initiative (BRI), which pursues joint development among participating nations. It has also generated tens of thousands of local jobs, boosted the capabilities of Egyptian workers, and nurtured strong mentor-apprentice ties between Chinese and Egyptian staff.
