Greek-Egyptian partnership fortified as leaders pledge strategic cooperation

·

Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis and Egyptian President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi solidified their countries’ partnership during a meeting held on Sunday. Government sources revealed Mitsotakis’ satisfaction with the elevation of European Union relations with Egypt to a Comprehensive and Strategic Partnership.

Central to the discussions was the decision to bolster the strategic alliance between Greece and Egypt, marked by the establishment of a High-Level Cooperation Council (HLCC). Scheduled to convene in Athens shortly after the signing of a Joint Declaration by the two leaders, this council signifies a commitment to deepen collaboration across various sectors.

Mitsotakis underscored Egypt’s crucial role in tackling illegal immigration, highlighting the importance of cooperation in managing this pressing issue. He further commended the robust bilateral relations and ongoing energy cooperation, with special mention of the Greece-Egypt GREGY Interconnector electricity project.

Moreover, Mitsotakis expressed gratitude to President al-Sisi for facilitating his private visit to the Siwa Oasis. This location holds significant cultural relevance for both Greece and Egypt, serving as the historical site of the Oracle of Amun Ra, famously visited by Alexander the Great in 331 BC.
