Egypt's Prime Minister Mostafa Madbouly held a meeting on Sunday with Reem Alabali-Radovan, the newly appointed Federal Minister for Economic Cooperation and Development of Germany. The meeting took place in New Alamein City and was attended by Minister of Planning and Economic Development Dr. Rania Al-Mashat and Foreign Minister Dr. Badr Abdel Aaty.
At the outset of the meeting, Prime Minister Madbouly extended his warm welcome to the German minister and congratulated her on her new position, also offering best wishes for the success of the new German government. He noted that her visit to Egypt — particularly to New Alamein — reflects the strength and depth of Egyptian-German relations. He also highlighted the many areas in which the two nations have been cooperating, both bilaterally and in addressing broader Middle East issues.
Madbouly emphasized that the longstanding partnership between Egypt and Germany is built on mutual interests and shared commitments to advancing sustainable development goals. He noted that Germany’s development cooperation programs in Egypt focus on several vital areas, including the expansion of renewable energy, improved energy efficiency, technical and vocational education, water resource management, and private sector development.
The Prime Minister also pointed out that Egypt and Germany have recently taken tangible steps to broaden their cooperation, through economic and development agreements, debt swap programs, and joint initiatives aimed at supporting national priorities. He reaffirmed Egypt’s commitment to deepening this strategic relationship and expanding the scope of cooperation across all sectors.
Madbouly expressed his hope that Germany would continue to play a supportive role in enhancing Egypt’s ties with the European Union, and that the two countries would jointly pursue initiatives that benefit not only both peoples, but also the wider region.
