EU Parliament Delegation Visits Egypt to Boost Bilateral Cooperation

A delegation of Members of the European Parliament (MEPs) has arrived in Cairo to participate in the 14th EU-Egypt Interparliamentary Meeting.

The Delegation are expected to meet with Egyptian parliamentarians and government officials at the New Administrative Capital (NAC), as well as civil society representatives.

Discussions will focus on various issues, including economic cooperation, regional stability and security, political and social modernization in Egypt, and the country's role in the region.

Members will also visit EU-funded projects to gain a better understanding of the situation on the ground.

Delegation Chair, Laurent Castillo stated, "This mission demonstrates the European Parliament's commitment to strengthening its relations with the Egyptian Parliament and promoting dialogue and cooperation on issues of mutual interest right after the conclusion of a historic deal this week on the Micro Financial Assistance.”

"The DMAS delegation looks forward to a productive and constructive exchange with our Egyptian counterparts and to exploring ways to deepen EU-Egypt relations,” he added.
