EU Ambassador Highlights Key Role in Supporting Egypt's Agricultural Development
Taarek Refaat Angelina Eichhorst, the European Union Ambassador to Egypt, emphasized the EU's pivotal role in supporting agricultural and rural development in Egypt, through over 15 projects, including the Caffè Program, implemented in collaboration with Italian cooperation. Eichhorst reaffirmed the EU's commitment to supporting Egypt's efforts in ensuring sustainable food systems, high-quality food, and accessibility for all. At the signing ceremony of a new protocol between the Italian Agency for Development Cooperation and the Agricultural Research Center in Egypt, Minister of Agriculture and Land Reclamation Alaa Farouk expressed his confidence in the program's potential to strengthen crop production, especially wheat, as part of the broader EU-backed Caffè initiative. Strengthening Partnerships for Agricultural Innovation During the event, Michele Quaroni, the Italian Ambassador to Egypt, renewed Italy's steadfast commitment to enhancing its partnership with Egypt in the agricultural and rural development sectors. He highlighted the alignment with Italy's Mattei Plan, a comprehensive strategy that aims to support Egypt's sustainable agricultural development by fostering knowledge exchange, investing in innovation, and promoting sustainable farming practices. This initiative is crucial to driving inclusive growth and ensuring food security for the country. Ambassador Quaroni stated, 'Italy continues to back Egypt's agricultural transformation through collaborative efforts that focus on sharing expertise, introducing advanced technologies, and promoting sustainable practices in agriculture.' Focus on Wheat Production and Agricultural Innovation Tiberio Chiari, Director of the Italian Agency for Development Cooperation in Cairo, also highlighted that the signed memorandum of understanding represents a critical milestone in the ongoing collaboration between the agency and Egypt's Agricultural Research Center. This partnership aims to enhance Egypt's wheat sector infrastructure by providing modern agricultural machinery, upgrading wheat breeding labs, and establishing seed production factories. The partnership will also work toward modernizing the agricultural practices in Egypt, which is essential to ensuring the long-term sustainability of the country's wheat supply—a vital crop for Egypt's food security. Shared Vision for Sustainable Agriculture The Caffè Program, part of the EU's broader strategy for agricultural and rural development in Egypt, focuses on sustainable practices that support local farmers and rural communities. With projects like these, the EU is playing a significant role in addressing the challenges of food security and agricultural productivity in Egypt, helping the country advance its sustainable development goals. Minister Farouk emphasized that the collaboration with Italy and the EU aligns with Egypt's ongoing efforts to modernize its agricultural infrastructure and improve production capabilities, making it an essential step toward a self-sufficient and food-secure future. read more CBE: Deposits in Local Currency Hit EGP 5.25 Trillion Morocco Plans to Spend $1 Billion to Mitigate Drought Effect Gov't Approves Final Version of State Ownership Policy Document Egypt's Economy Expected to Grow 5% by the end of 2022/23- Minister Qatar Agrees to Supply Germany with LNG for 15 Years Business Oil Prices Descend amid Anticipation of Additional US Strategic Petroleum Reserves Business Suez Canal Records $704 Million, Historically Highest Monthly Revenue Business Egypt's Stock Exchange Earns EGP 4.9 Billion on Tuesday Business Wheat delivery season commences on April 15 News Israeli-Linked Hadassah Clinic in Moscow Treats Wounded Iranian IRGC Fighters News China Launches Largest Ever Aircraft Carrier Sports Former Al Zamalek Player Ibrahim Shika Passes away after Long Battle with Cancer Videos & Features Tragedy Overshadows MC Alger Championship Celebration: One Fan Dead, 11 Injured After Stadium Fall Lifestyle Get to Know 2025 Eid Al Adha Prayer Times in Egypt Arts & Culture South Korean Actress Kang Seo-ha Dies at 31 after Cancer Battle News "Tensions Escalate: Iran Probes Allegations of Indian Tech Collaboration with Israeli Intelligence" News Flights suspended at Port Sudan Airport after Drone Attacks Arts & Culture Hawass Foundation Launches 1st Course to Teach Ancient Egyptian Language Videos & Features Video: Trending Lifestyle TikToker Valeria Márquez Shot Dead during Live Stream

OPEN// EU ambassador: Elevating relations with Egypt to strategic partnership well-deserved merit for country
CAIRO, May 23 (MENA) - Head of the European Union (EU) Delegation to Egypt Angelina Eichhorst said Egypt under the leadership of President Abdel Fattah El Sisi has made enormous achievements that have strengthened its regional position and economic capabilities. This has encouraged the EU to elevate its relations with Egypt to the level of a strategic partnership, Eichhorst said in an interview with the Egyptian Radio. The elevation of EU-Egypt relations to a strategic partnership last year was not some sort of "political courtesy," but rather a well-deserved merit for Egypt, the EU ambassador said. She noted that elevating relations between the EU and other countries rarely happens, and for Egypt, it reflects a deep appreciation for President Sisi, the government, and Egypt. The partnership between Egypt and the European Union benefits everyone in all areas, she pointed out. 'We in the European Union appreciate the speed and efficiency of development taking place in Egypt's infrastructure, its pioneering role in the region, its protection of refugee rights, and its support for preventing illegal migration. We in the European Union also fully understand the current regional conditions and their impact on Egypt, and we equally recognize the importance of the Suez Canal and Egypt's importance to the entire world," Eichhorst said. Meanwhile, the EU ambassador expressed her fascination with the Egyptian civilization and culture, saying that since arriving in Cairo to assume her post, she has visited the Egyptian Museum six times. She noted that the Grand Egyptian Museum, which will be inaugurated early next July, is the largest archaeological museum in the world. She emphasized that, due to her interest in human heritage, she visited all the world's museums before coming to Egypt last November and visiting the Grand Egyptian Museum. "It is the most important and largest museum I have ever seen," she said. Regarding European cooperation with Egypt, Eichhorst noted that cooperation is extended and that she personally supports stimulating European investments in Egypt, which she said have reached €50 billion in recent investment agreements. There is significant European support for Egypt in the fields of energy, renewable energy, water, and green hydrogen, she said. She also pointed out to partnerships between both sides in areas of technological development, digital support, and education. (MENA) I S N/R E E
