Cyprus, Greece, and Egypt to Hold Trilateral Summit in Cairo

Cyprus, Greece, and Egypt are preparing for a trilateral summit with the heads of government of the three countries, scheduled for Wednesday in Cairo.

Cypriot President Nikos Christodoulides, Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis, and Egyptian President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi will meet in Cairo, accompanied by their respective government delegations.

This summit marks the first of its kind since the leaders' previous meeting in Athens in 2021. A spokesperson for the Cypriot government, Konstantinos Letimbiotis, emphasized that the timing of the summit is "critically important for the region" and underscores the "strategic partnership" between the three countries, highlighting its enduring value and the continued deepening of their cooperation.

"The summit carries special significance given the ongoing crises, including the situations in Gaza and Syria, and the wider regional implications, particularly in the Red Sea area," Letimbiotis said.

He also stressed that in today’s rapidly changing and unstable international environment, stronger collaboration between Cyprus, Greece, and Egypt is essential for ensuring peace, stability, and sustainable economic and social development in the Eastern Mediterranean.

Before the trilateral summit, Cyprus and Egypt will hold bilateral talks, aimed at consolidating and institutionalizing regular intergovernmental meetings between the two nations.

The leaders will discuss opportunities for joint investment projects in areas like infrastructure, trade, technology, innovation, and tourism, as well as efforts to strengthen energy cooperation between the two countries.
