Egyptian Foreign Minister Sameh Shoukry and his Tanzanian counterpart Liberata Mulamula discussed in a meeting in Cairo on Thursday enhancing bilateral cooperation, especially in agriculture and livestock.
Shoukry and Mulamula held a joint press briefing following their meeting.
The meeting touched upon all aspects of cooperation on the economic and political fronts, Shoukry said.
Mulamula, who arrived earlier today in the Egyptian capital, held an earlier meeting with Egyptian President Abdel-Fattah El-Sisi, where she conveyed a message from Tanzanian President Samia Hassan emphasizing Tanzania's political will to advance relations with Egypt and strengthen joint African action, Shoukry told the conference.
Egypt's top diplomat also said that El-Sisi affirmed Egypt's keenness on cementing bonds with Tanzania, giving directives to speed up the holding of the Egyptian-Tanzanian committee in the Tanzanian capital Dar es Salaam.
Shoukry's meeting with his Tanzanian counterpart saw an exchange of views on a host of regional issues of mutual concern, including the Palestinian cause and the situations in Syria and Libya, he added during the presser.
In addition, the meeting tackled how to counter extremist ideologies and achieve stability in the Sahel and Sahara region, Shoukry said.
Both Shoukry Mulamula also lauded the deeply-rooted relations between Egypt and Tanzania in different fields.
Shoukry underlined the significance of boosting cooperation in trade and tourism, especially as the two countries enjoy great potential and in light of the well-established Egyptian-Tanzanian ties.
Egypt and Tanzania signed a number of memorandums of understanding (MoUs) in several fields, including education and sports, during a visit by Tanzanian President Samia Hassan to Cairo in November 2021.
