Egypt's FM, Serbian PM discuss opportunities for increasing mutual investments
CAIRO – 19 June 2025: Egyptian Foreign Minister Badr Abdelatty met with Serbian Prime Minister Juro Matsut on Thursday in Cairo. Ambassador Tamim Khallaf, spokesperson for Egypt's Ministry of Foreign Affairs, stated that Minister Abdelatty praised the efforts strengthening the bilateral relations between Egypt and Serbia in recent years. He also welcomed the entry of the Free Trade Agreement that was signed in July 2023 into force. This is expected to significantly boost trade exchange and economic cooperation between the two countries. The minister commended Serbia's decision to open the first representative office of its Chamber of Commerce in Cairo. He also emphasized the importance of convening the 19th session of the Joint Economic Committee in the second half of 2025 and holding regular meetings of the Joint Business Council. Minister Abdelatty highlighted opportunities for increasing mutual investment, particularly through projects in Egypt that Serbian companies could benefit from. He noted that Egypt's trade agreements with Arab and African nations, combined with Serbia's business networks, present promising avenues for Egyptian exports to the Western Balkans region. He expressed Egypt's readiness to expand cooperation with Serbia in the fields of renewable energy and natural gas, especially given the recent growth of Serbia's renewable energy sector. Additionally, he underscored Egypt's interest in increasing the number of Serbian tourists visiting Egypt. The Minister also welcomed the idea of sending trained Egyptian workers to support development and industrial sectors in Serbia. He noted the positive momentum in parliamentary relations, citing the formation of the Egyptian-Serbian Parliamentary Friendship Group, and expressed appreciation for Serbia's support of former Minister of Tourism Dr. Khaled El-Anany's candidacy for UNESCO Director-General. The meeting also covered key regional developments. Minister Abdelatty outlined Egypt's position on the situation in the Middle East, focusing on the military escalation between Israel and Iran, as well as the continued Israeli attacks on the Gaza Strip. He reviewed Egypt's efforts to alleviate the suffering of the Palestinian people and to resume ceasefire negotiations, while also commending Serbia's supportive stance on the Palestinian cause. He warned of the dangers posed by the ongoing military escalation in the region and stressed the urgent need for de-escalation, a ceasefire, and a return to negotiations to avoid plunging the region into further instability.

Egypt, EU top diplomats discuss efforts to de-escalate Israel-Iran conflict - Foreign Affairs
Egyptian Minister of Foreign Affairs Badr Abdelatty discussed on Thursday in a phone call with the EU High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy Kaja Kallas the escalating tensions in the Middle East and urgent efforts to de-escalate the military standoff between Israel and Iran. During the call, Abdelatty briefed the EU official on Egypt's diplomatic initiatives aimed at de-escalating the Israel-Iran conflict, securing a ceasefire, and resuming negotiations, according to a statement by the Egyptian Ministry of Foreign Affairs. He emphasized that dialogue remains the sole path to a sustainable agreement on Iran's nuclear programme and to avoid a wider regional conflict. Minister Abdelatty underscored the need for continued European engagement in these de-escalation and negotiation efforts. Kallas' call with Abdelatty precedes her anticipated nuclear talks with the Iranian foreign minister in Geneva on Friday, alongside the foreign ministers of Germany, France, and Britain. Media reports suggest that Kallas and the E3's meeting with Iran's top diplomat will address the latest developments and urge Iran to return to the negotiation table. The aerial conflict between Israel and Iran, now in its seventh day, began after Tel Aviv launched an air campaign against Tehran on Friday, claiming that Iran was on the verge of developing a nuclear weapon. Furthermore, Abdelatty outlined Egypt's collaborative efforts with Qatar and the US to reinstate a ceasefire in the war-ravaged Gaza and facilitate the delivery of crucial humanitarian aid. He urged the EU to provide essential humanitarian support to address the catastrophic humanitarian conditions in Gaza caused by Israel's starvation policy, the statement added. FM Abdelatty further stressed the importance of advancing a political resolution for the Palestinian cause, advocating for establishing an independent Palestinian state based on the two-state solution as the only viable route to regional stability. Egypt-EU partnership During a recent call, Abdelatty welcomed the European Parliament's final approval of the second tranche of the EU's financial support package for Egypt, worth 4 billion euros. This tranche is part of a larger 5 billion euro budget support package that was agreed upon in March 2024 following the Joint Declaration on the Strategic and Comprehensive Partnership between Egypt and the EU in Cairo. The European support package, signed by both parties in 2024, totals approximately 7.4 billion euros and will be disbursed by 2027. The package comprises 5 billion euros in budget support, 1.8 billion euros in investment guarantees for European and Egyptian companies investing in Egypt, and approximately 600 million euros for training, technical assistance, and capacity building. Abdelatty expressed appreciation for Kallas and the EU's foreign service's efforts, describing this approval as a testament to the commitment to strengthening the comprehensive strategic partnership between Egypt and the EU. He also reiterated Egypt's commitment to implementing this strategic partnership's various pillars. Follow us on: Facebook Instagram Whatsapp Short link:
