On 2 March, Commissioner for the Mediterranean, Dubravka Šuica, visited Egypt to reaffirm EU’s commitment in supporting Egypt at this pivotal moment. Egypt is not just a key partner—it is a cornerstone of regional stability, security, and economic cooperation. It also served as an opportunity to present her vision for the New Pact for the Mediterranean. Commissioner Šuica met with President of Egypt, Abdel Fattah Al-Sisi; Prime Minister of Egypt, Mostafa Madbouly; Minister of Foreign Affairs, Emigration and Expatriates, Badr Abdelatty; and, Minister of Planning, Economic Development and International Cooperation, Rania Al-Mashat. Moreover, she signed together with the Egyptian Government a loan worth €90 million for the project ‘Egypt Food Resilience’, supported by the EU and the European Investment.
This visit takes place in the context of a series of high-level consultations conducted by Commissioner Šuica to shape the New Pact for the Mediterranean. The New Pact – currently being developed in close cooperation with Mediterranean partners and Member States – will address shared challenges, by fostering people to people relations, economic growth, and strengthening regional security and stability.
