Visit of President of Egypt additional impulse in bilateral relations

Belgrade, 20 July 2022

President of Serbia Aleksandar Vucic expressed his belief today that the visit of the President of Egypt Abdel Fattah al-Sisi to Belgrade will contribute to the deepening of bilateral relations and bring a lot of good to both countries in the future.

At the joint press conference with Al-Sisi, after signing bilateral agreements, he reminded that an Egyptian president came to Belgrade after almost four decades, stressing that it is particularly significant that this is a leader who is a sincere friend Serbia.

He estimated that today's talks will be an additional impulse in the relations between the two countries, which will be seen not only on the international stage, through mutual support in international institutions, but also specifically in the economy and numerous projects that will be worked on together.

Vucic emphasised that it is extremely important to agree on a free trade agreement between Serbia and Egypt by the end of the year, and explained that this means that Serbia can, for example, import lemons without customs duties, and Egypt can import the highest quality apples or raspberries without customs duties.

Al-Sisi expressed his belief that the signed documents will contribute to the strengthening of cooperation in all areas and give a new vision of bilateral relations.

According to him, today they discussed politics, education, science, but also the cooperation of business people, investments and exchange of experiences in agriculture.

Also, the fight against climate change was discussed, he stated and announced that on this occasion a conference on climate change will be held in Sharm El Sheikh and that it would be an honour for him to have the President of Serbia participate in it.

Al-Sisi expressed his gratitude for the hospitality and the award given to him, with the hope that the next period will be marked by even greater cooperation between the two friendly countries and two peoples.

After the joint conference, the presidents of the two countries opened the Serbia-Egypt Business Forum, organised by the Serbian Chamber of Commerce, at which more than 30 companies from Egypt and approximately 100 businessmen from Serbia are taking part.
