Minister of Foreign Affairs, International Co-operation and Egyptian Expatriates Badr Abdelatty has stressed Egypt’s keenness to strengthen its distinguished relations with the Czech Republic, expand co-operation across various sectors and increase bilateral trade.
The minister remarks came during a telephone conversation on Wednesday with Czech Foreign Minister Petr Matyáš, during which the two ministers discussed bilateral ties and regional developments.
He emphasised the importance of holding the next session of the Joint Economic Committee in the first quarter of 2027, alongside a new round of political consultations.
He also called for reactivating the Egyptian-Czech Business Council to boost economic and commercial relations and bring about a qualitative shift in bilateral co-operation.
Both ministers expressed their shared interest in strengthening tourism co-operation and increasing tourist flows between the two countries, particularly amid growing interest among Czech tourists in Egyptian destinations.
The talks also covered developments in Gaza and efforts to implement the second phase of the peace plan proposed by US President Donald Trump.
At the conclusion, Abdelatty warned against Israeli practices in the West Bank, particularly settlement expansion and attempts to impose a new reality on the ground, highlighting their adverse implications for regional security and stability.
