Greece and Egypt sign agreements on aeronautics, maritime search and rescue

·

Greece and Egypt signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) on Cooperation in the fields of Aeronautics and Maritime Search & Rescue in Cairo on Tuesday.

The agreements were signed by Greece’s National Defence Minister Nikos Panagiotopoulos and his Egyptian counterpart Mohamed Zaki.

The signing was attended by Greek Foreign Affairs Minister Nikos Dendias and Alternate Foreign Affairs Minister Miltiadis Varvitsiotis.

“Our goal is to create a framework to help save precious human lives,” Dendias told reporters after the signing.

Later in the day, Varvitsiotis also signed an agricultural deal with the Egyptian Foreign Affairs Ministry’s Ambassador for European Affairs Ihab Nasr, allowing up to 5,000 seasonal farm laborers from Egypt to remain in Greece for up to nine months.

Egypt and Greece have looked to strengthen ties since Turkey signed a preliminary maritime and gas deal with Libya’s Tripoli-based government in October.
