Egypt's El-Sisi, Governor-General of Australia dicuss bilateral ties

CAIRO – 27 April 2025: President Abdel Fattah El-Sisi received Governor-General of the Commonwealth of Australia Sam Mostyn at Al-Ittihadiya Palace on Sunday, and discussed with her the enhancement of bilateral ties. El-Sisi invited her to attend the inauguration of the Grand Egyptian Museum due on July 3, 2025. An official reception ceremony was held, the national anthems were played, and the Guard of Honor was inspected, said the Egyptian Presidential Spokesman Ambassador Mohamed El-Shennawy. An expanded session of talks between the countries' delegations was held, during which President El-Sisi welcomed Mostyn on her first visit to Egypt. The visit coincides with the 75th anniversary of the establishment of relations between the two countries, which reflects the profound historical bonds and longstanding relations the two sides share. President El-Sisi states he values the positive contributions of the Egyptian community in Australia and their active role in building the Australian society. The president noted the remarkable success of Australians of Egyptian origin in an array of spheres, including the attainment of prominent positions, which demonstrates the solid relations between the two peoples. During the meeting, the two sides emphasized the need to forge closer economic, trade, and investment relations between the two countries. President El-Sisi highlighted Egypt's promising investment landscape, which could be a prime destination for Australian companies. Areas of cooperation include, in particular, the production of clean energy and green hydrogen, agriculture, tourism, technological industries and mining, as well as in the Suez Canal Economic Zone. The president underscored Egypt's keenness on localizing the industries and boosting its productive capacity. The meeting also focused on ways to strengthen collaboration in the area of food security, and the possibility of establishing joint projects for breeding and fattening livestock and related industries in Egypt. The two sides discussed mechanisms to facilitate the flow of Egyptian exports to Australian markets, and promote cooperation in culture, education, and tourism. The governor-general of the Commonwealth of Australia agreed with the president with regard to the need to enhance Australian investments in Egypt. She stressed the importance of bolstering cooperation on cultural investment, notably in museums, given the high regard the Australian people have for the Egyptian culture. The meeting also tackled the latest regional and international developments of mutual interest, primarily the situation in the Gaza Strip. The two sides reviewed Egypt's unrelenting efforts to achieve a ceasefire, an exchange of hostages and detainees, and ensure the delivery of sufficient humanitarian aid into the sector. They strongly rejected the weaponization of starvation and its use as collective punishment against the Palestinian people. Both sides emphasized the necessity of reconstructing the Gaza Strip in accordance with the relevant Arab-Islamic plan, stressing the imperative to advance toward the implementation of the two-state solution and the establishment of an independent Palestinian state, in accordance with resolutions of international legitimacy, as the only path to ensure lasting peace and stability in the region. For her part, the governor-general of the Commonwealth of Australia affirmed her country's commitment to strengthening bilateral relations and the strategic partnership with Egypt. She expressed appreciation for the momentum in the collaboration between the two countries and hoped this visit would further contribute to elevating the path of joint cooperation. Mostyn stressed Australia's full support for Egypt's diligent and tireless efforts to restore stability in the region. At the conclusion of the meeting, President El-Sisi extended an invitation to the governor-general of Australia to join the inauguration ceremony of the Grand Egyptian Museum, an invitation that the Australian official welcomed.
