Egypt and Philippines hold 10th political talks
Today, the tenth round of political consultations between Egypt and the Philippines was held in Manila. This was the first such meeting at the ministerial level in 80 years since diplomatic relations were established between the two countries in 1946, when Egypt was among the first nations to recognize the independence of the Philippines. Both sides emphasized the importance of strengthening bilateral cooperation, especially in economic and commercial fields, with Egypt aiming to double its trade exchange and develop cooperation in food security through the signing of a bilateral memorandum of understanding. An agreement was also reached to establish an Egyptian–Philippine Business Council to promote trade and investment, increase business delegations’ visits, exchange delegations, and encourage collaboration in agriculture, health, and industry sectors. The parties praised the positive developments in relations over recent months, highlighting continued coordination within regional and international organizations. The Philippines expressed its desire to expand cooperation with Egypt, particularly in light of regional challenges and efforts to promote stability, with a focus on preserving freedom of navigation and supporting regional security.
