The Chinese president's visit to Cairo, as part of a regional tour including Egypt, has been postponed, the Egyptian presidential spokesman Alaa Youssef announced on Wednesday.
The Chinese President, Xi Jinping, was scheduled to visit Egypt in mid-April, he added, without specifying the new date for the expected visit.
President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi visited Beijing and met with his Chinese counterpart in December 2014. The two heads of state agreed to boost bilateral ties between Egypt and China.
