Greece and Egypt reaffirmed the strategic nature of their relationship during talks between Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis and Egyptian President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi in El Alamein, followed by a trilateral meeting with Cypriot President Nikos Christodoulides, according to statements and a joint declaration issued after the meetings.
The discussions took place against the backdrop of broader regional developments, including the Mecca Agreement, and were presented as confirmation that the core of Greek-Egyptian relations remains unchanged.
Mitsotakis also used the meeting to send a message to Turkey, saying that “Greece threatens no one and seeks stability through functional relations based on international law.” He added that “stability does not in any case mean retreat or tolerance of faits accomplis. Therefore, Greece is neither afraid to defend its positions with confidence nor to engage in dialogue.”
