Greece’s Foreign Affairs Minister, Nikos Dendias, and Egyptian Foreign Affairs Minister, Sameh Shouky, met on Tuesday to discuss geopolitical links between Athens and Cairo.

According to AMNA News, the minister issued a joint statement after the meeting and said that at a time when “geopolitical balances are fragile, bilateral relations remain stable, becoming increasingly stronger.”

Dendias stressed the bilateral trade between Egypt and Greece was successful as the value of trade between them has exceeded 2 billion euros.

The Greek Foreign Minister also emphasised the strategic importance of the Greek-Egyptian electricity power project, “GREGY Interconnector,” the EastMed Gas Forum, and the memoranda signed in Cairo in June 2022 between the EU and Egypt, and also those by the EU and Israel.

For his part, Egypt’s Foreign Minister said Greece and Egypt’s relations are of strategic importance and are founded on consistent values and on the principles of good neighbourly relations and International Law.
