Greece and Egypt sign strategic partnership amid regional tensions

·

Greece and Egypt signed a “strategic partnership” agreement on Wednesday to strengthen political coordination and regional stability, particularly in light of the ongoing war in Gaza.

“Our bilateral cooperation is based on political, economic, and cultural ties… defined by our strong commitment to the values of peace and the full respect of international law,” Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis and Egyptian President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi said in a joint statement following the inaugural meeting of the Supreme Cooperation Council.

Both leaders stressed the need for an immediate ceasefire in Gaza and increased humanitarian aid, with Mitsotakis backing an Arab-led reconstruction plan.

Migration was also a key focus, as rising arrivals in Greece from Egypt and Afghanistan follow growing economic hardship in Egypt, which the EU has responded to with a €7.4 billion aid package and strengthened ties.
