According
to government's sources, President el-Sisi's visit aims to promote the
cooperation between Greece and Egypt in the economic, energy and port
sector (especially after the opening of the new waterway of the Suez
canal and the developments in the energy map of the region) as well as
the cooperation in transport, construction and infrastructure. In this
context President el-Sisi and Greek Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras will
welcome Greece and Egypt's business forum that will take place in the
afternoon with the participation of a large number of enterpreneurs and
institutional agencies from both countries.
Moreover, the same sources said that on the sidelines of the forum two
agreements referring to the cooperation of the ports of Kavala and
Alexandrouppolis with Egyptian ports will be signed.
Greece, Egypt and Cyprus tripartite meeting, said the same sources, will
focus on the strengthening of the dialogue and the cooperation among
the three countries in international organisations as well as in the
sector of the economy, energy and safety with the view to promoting
peace and stability in the region. Due to the tension and the conflicts
that prevail in the region, the trilateral cooperation acquires an
additional meaning for the three countries, which is the widening of the
regional cooperation, the European Union and the Euromediterrenean
Cooperations.
Before the trilateral meeting, Greek Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras will
meet with Cyprus President Nicos Anastasiades. The talks will focus on
the Cyprus issue, the cooperation in energy sector and the regional
developments.
