The V4 and Egypt strengthen their cooperation

Hungary, now presiding the Visegrád group, hosted a summit, which brought together the V4 and Egypt on July 4. Viktor Orbán said that the V4 views Egypt as a regional neighbor, while also thaking the Egyptian President for his efforts to stabilize the region’s integrity. Securing the south Mediterranean Sea, blocking migration routes and fighting terrorism are important tasks for the Egyptian authorities, making Egypt a key partner for Central European countries.

The Hungarian Prime Minister stressed that the work done by Egypt in regards to migration and the enforcement border control deserves gratitude from the European Union. The V4 and Egypt also agreed on having greater exchanges and bilateral investments. The V4 also expressed its wish to hold a new meeting of the EU-Egypt Association Council as soon as possible.
