COPENHAGEN – The current visit of President Abdel Fattah El Sisi to Copenhagen has captured significant attention in Danish media, marking a landmark moment in bilateral relations between Egypt and Denmark. The visit is being hailed as “historic” by several outlets, as it represents the first time an Egyptian president has traveled to Denmark.
According to reports, Egypt is considered a key partner for both the European Union and Denmark, a sentiment emphasized in the media’s coverage of President Sisi’s visit. The Copenhagen Post noted that Sisi’s visit is particularly significant, as he is the first non-European leader to be welcomed by Danish King Frederik and Queen Mary, highlighting the importance of the occasion.
In addition, the Danish Foreign Minister underscored the close and longstanding ties between Egypt and Denmark, emphasizing the strong relationship that has developed between the two nations over the years.
A formal reception ceremony was held on Friday at the Royal Palace in Copenhagen to honor President Sisi, marking the beginning of his visit. Throughout his time in Denmark, President Sisi is expected to engage in discussions with Denmark’s Prime Minister and the Speaker of Parliament. The visit will culminate in the signing of a declaration establishing a strategic partnership between Egypt and Denmark, further strengthening their diplomatic and economic cooperation.
