President Abdel Fattah El-Sisi departed Cairo, heading to Brussels to chair Egypt’s delegation at the first-ever Egypt–EU Summit, scheduled to take place on October 22.
According to the Spokesman for the Presidency, Ambassador Mohammad El-Shennawi, this historic summit — the first of its kind between Egypt and the European Union — represents a milestone in the comprehensive strategic partnership officially launched in Cairo in March 2024.
During the visit, President El-Sisi is set to hold a series of high-level meetings with senior EU officials and several European leaders, as well as a meeting with His Majesty the King of Belgium.
The visit aims to consolidate frameworks of political coordination and cooperation with the European side, particularly regarding key regional and international issues of mutual concern.
The President’s agenda also includes a strong economic component, with an expanded Egypt–Europe Business Forum taking place on the sidelines of the summit. The forum will highlight investment opportunities in Egypt and witness wide participation from major European companies and business leaders.
In addition, discussions will cover Egypt’s comprehensive vision on combating irregular migration, alongside other pressing topics of shared interest between Egypt and the European Union.
