Minister of Foreign Affairs, International Co-operation and Egyptian Expatriates Badr Abdelatty co-chaired on Sunday with Kuwaiti Foreign Minister Sheikh Jarrah Jaber Al-Ahmad Al-Sabah the 14th session of the Egyptian-Kuwaiti Joint Committee.
The meeting brought together delegations from both countries to review bilateral co-operation and strengthen ties across various fields.
Foreign Ministry spokesman Ambassador Nader Zaki said Minister Abdelatty underscored Egypt’s pride in the deep and distinctive relations between the two countries.
He also stressed the state commitment to advancing them through high-level political, economic and technical visits, supporting business leaders through the Egyptian-Kuwaiti Co-operation Council, and following up on the committee’s outcomes.
Abdelatty highlighted the need to expand economic and investment co-operation, increase trade and mutual investments, and strengthen partnerships between the two business communities.
He welcomed Kuwaiti investors as partners in Egypt’s development, reaffirming the government’s commitment to addressing investment obstacles and improving the business climate through competitive incentives and facilities.
He also praised the Egyptian community’s contribution to Kuwait’s development and Egypt’s readiness to provide specialised personnel and skilled labour to meet Kuwaiti market needs.
Regional discussions covered Egypt’s solidarity with Kuwait and its rejection of aggression against Kuwaiti or other Gulf territory, as well as Palestine and Gaza, Sudan, Yemen, and security and freedom of navigation in the Arabian Gulf, Red Sea and Bab el-Mandeb.
In this respect, both sides stressed political and diplomatic solutions, de-escalation and preventing further regional tensions or military confrontations.
The session concluded with the signing of a final protocol covering political and technical co-operation, alongside agreements and memoranda of understanding in priority fields.
These documents provide a roadmap for bilateral co-operation ahead of the next session in Cairo in 2028.
