"We found that we have a lot in common with China and we have identical views on many things. So we're working on finding an institutional mechanism for cooperation between Egypt and China in the sports field," Sobhy told Xinhua.

On Saturday, Sobhy met with the delegation of Chinese youth led by Li Keyong, head of All-China Youth Federation, at the World Youth Forum.

"I discussed with the Chinese delegation participating in the forum how to establish Egyptian-Chinese relations related to youth activities," the Egyptian minister said.

Sobhy added that the two sides discussed the possibility of establishing a "youth friendship week" between Egypt and China.

The agenda of mutual visits during the friendship week should include various cultural, art and sportive activities for the purpose of exchanging culture and dialogue between the Egyptian and Chinese youths, according to Sobhy.

"A protocol of cooperation in the youth field will be signed between the two sides in early 2019 and an Egyptian delegation will pay a visit to China soon to complete the agreement and discuss the chances for cooperation in various relevant fields," Sobhy told Xinhua.

With regards to Egypt's ongoing World Youth Forum, Sobhy said that it gathers this year 5,000 young people from about 160 states.

He added that the forum highlights the importance of the role of youth in building the present and the future of their nations as well as Egypt's perception of youth as the makers of the present and the future.
