Egyptian President Abdel Fattah El-Sisi, in his joint statements with Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis, emphasised that “we are committed to establishing this strategic partnership with Greece, founded on the historical ties between our two peoples, mutual respect, and cooperation across all sectors.”

The signing of the strategic

partnership, he emphasised, further strengthens the relationship between Egypt and Greece, signifying a significant step forward. “The Supreme Council is a qualitative milestone in the course of the two countries' relations to reach where we want to be,” El Sisi noted, stressing the importance he attaches to the Greece-Egypt electrical interconnection. “It is not only a bilateral issue; it is a strategic-regional issue, as the connection will reach Europe through Greece,” he stressed.

“We are keen to cooperate with Greece on natural gas and on the issue of Egyptian workers—not only in agriculture, but in all sectors where Greece wants workers from Egypt to come and offer their help,” he noted.

El-Sisi, reflecting on Greece's support for Egypt in 2011, stated: Greece demonstrated understanding and endeavoured, through the European Union, to communicate Egypt's perspective—and succeeded in this role.” It was a difficult period for Egypt, and we needed friends. We will never forget this, and it shows how deep the relations between the two countries are.”

He also referred to the value of the Monastery of Saint Catherine on Mount Sinai and expressed his personal interest in it.
