Tunisia First ever EU-Egypt summit to take place in Brussels on 22 October
The President of the European Council, António Costa, together with the President of the European Commission, Ursula von der Leyen, will represent the EU at the first EU-Egypt summit taking place in Brussels on 22 October 2025. President Abdul Fattah al-Sisi will represent Egypt. The summit will focus on bilateral relations and further deepening the political and economic partnership, as set out in the EU-Egypt Strategic and Comprehensive Partnership, with the aim of fostering their shared stability, peace and prosperity. Leaders will also discuss today’s global challenges, including the situation in the Middle East, Ukraine, multilateralism, trade, migration and security.
The summit will be followed by an informal dinner, to which EU heads of state or government have been invited. The President of the European Council, António Costa said “Egypt is a strategic partner for the European Union. Our longstanding ties are rooted in shared history, geography, and culture, as well as the strong bonds between our peoples. The EU deeply values Egypt’s stabilising role in the Middle East region and its mediation role in the Gaza conflict. Our first bilateral summit will be an excellent opportunity to further deepen our partnership, cooperate in addressing our common challenges and unleash the full potential of our relationship.“
