China's Y-20 strategic transport plane conducted its first overseas performance on Tuesday, displaying complicated maneuvers to visitors at an airshow in Egypt.

The People's Liberation Army Air Force said in a news release that a Y-20 performed several stunts such as high-angle climbouts and dives, steep turns as well as low-speed flyovers during its nine-minute flight over the El Alamein International Airport on the first day of the Egypt International Airshow 2024.

The three-day event opened on Tuesday in the Mediterranean coastal city of El Alamein in northwestern Egypt, marking the first international airshow in the African nation.
