The media have had an important role to play in introducing the two peoples one to the other. They also have shed light on the political, economic, social and cultural developments in two countries with the purpose of deepening understanding between the Egyptians and the Chinese.

In July 1994, an agreement of cooperation between the televisions of the two countries was signed.

Resident offices representing the Xinhua News Agency, the People's newspaper, China's International Radio, the Chinese Central Television and the China Today magazine have been established. On the Egyptian side, the Middle East News Agency – MENA – has also set up shop in Beijing.

Several media institutions in Egypt have signed protocols of cooperation with China; and vise versa.
