Egypt, Greece, and Cyprus are set to convene a trilateral summit in Cairo to discuss a range of strategic issues aimed at strengthening their longstanding partnership in the Eastern Mediterranean region.
The summit, scheduled for later this week, will bring together Egyptian President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi, Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis, and Cypriot President Nikos Christodoulides.
The agenda is expected to focus on enhancing regional security, energy cooperation, and economic collaboration.
Leaders will address pressing matters such as the exploitation of natural gas reserves in the Eastern Mediterranean, maritime boundary agreements, and the development of renewable energy projects.
Diplomatic sources indicate that discussions will also cover regional stability, including the situation in Libya, tensions in the Middle East, and broader efforts to combat terrorism and illegal migration.
The trilateral cooperation mechanism between Egypt, Greece, and Cyprus was established in 2014 and has since evolved into a key regional alliance.
The partnership is widely regarded as a stabilizing force in a region often marked by geopolitical tensions.
In a joint statement ahead of the summit, the three nations emphasized their shared commitment to promoting peace, economic growth, and sustainable development.
"This summit underscores the depth of our partnership and our collective vision for a prosperous and secure Eastern Mediterranean," the statement read.
Observers view the summit as a significant step in bolstering multilateral relations and addressing shared challenges. Analysts also highlight the importance of these talks in countering external influences in the region and fostering a framework of mutual respect and collaboration.
The summit is expected to conclude with the signing of new agreements and a joint declaration outlining the next steps in their partnership.
