Kyriakos Mitsotakis, Abdel Fattah Al Sisi, and Nikos Christodoulides are expected to send a message on the strategic importance of the Greece-Egypt-Cyprus cooperation as an axis of stability in a period of upheaval in the Middle East and in the midst of crises at regional and international level at the 10th Greece-Egypt-Cyprus Summit in Cairo. The trilateral summit comes at a time when the landscape in the Middle East is reshaping and the situation in Syria remains volatile.

According to reports, the Prime Minister will have a private meeting with Egyptian President Abdel Fattah Al-Sisi before the start of the Trilateral Summit.

The three leaders are expected to send a message of enhanced cooperation in a wide range of areas, with emphasis on energy and energy security—an area dominated by the Greece-Egypt GREGY electricity interconnection project, which will make our country an energy bridge between Egypt and Europe.

Regional developments with a focus on Syria are among the issues to be discussed. The Prime Minister will reiterate Greece's position on the need for an inclusive process involving all Syrians and will send the message that the new Syrian leadership must demonstrate in practice that it respects international law and that the rights of all religious and ethnic minorities are protected.

It is recalled that Kyriakos Mitsotakis' last visit to Cairo took place in March 2024, in the framework of a joint visit with the President of the European Commission, Ursula von der Leyen, and European leaders for the signing of the EU-Egypt Strategic and Partnership Agreement, for which Greece took the lead in stressing the strategic importance of Egypt's stability for Europe, as well as the importance of Cairo in curbing migratory flows to European countries.
