CHINA, EGYPT AGREE ON NUKE COOPERATION

CHINA, EGYPT AGREE ON NUKE COOPERATION

CAIRO [MENL] -- China and Egypt have agreed on nuclear cooperation that
could ensure that the Asian superpower heads a program to supply nuclear
reactors to the Arab state.

The two countries agreed on nuclear cooperation in a statement during the
visit to Beijing by Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak on Nov. 7. Mubarak and
his Chinese counterpart, Hu Jintao, issued a joint communique at the end of
talks that included military and civilian nuclear cooperation.

"This gives Egypt another option and reduces dependency on the United
States," an Egyptian government analyst said.

The Chinese-Egyptian accord was not detailed in the communique. But Egyptian
sources said Beijing -- which has also assisted Iran's nuclear program --
would send a delegation to examine Egypt's nuclear requirements and offer
proposals for nuclear reactors to generate electricity as well as research
facilities.
