Saudi Crown Prince and Prime Minister Mohammed bin Salman will lead the Saudi delegation to the European Union-Gulf Cooperation Council (EU-GCC) Summit in Brussels, Belgium, on October 16. This move follows King Salman’s directions and reflects Saudi Arabia’s continuous commitment to regional cooperation.
Prior to the conference, Crown Prince Mohammed travelled to Cairo to meet with Egyptian President Abdel Fattah El-Sisi. Their discussions centred on improving Saudi-Egyptian relations in a variety of sectors, as well as regional security and stability challenges, notably in the Arab and Islamic spheres. The leaders emphasised the importance of ongoing partnership in addressing Middle Eastern concerns.
During their visit, both presidents saw the signing of agreements to form the Saudi-Egyptian Supreme Coordination Council and encourage mutual investment. Saudi Foreign Minister Prince Faisal bin Farhan and his Egyptian colleague Badr Abdelatty both signed the council agreement. In addition, Saudi Investment Minister Khalid Al-Falih and Egyptian Minister of Investment Hassan El-Khatib inked an agreement to preserve and expand bilateral investments.
After leaving Cairo, the Crown Prince thanked El-Sisi for the warm reception and reaffirmed the strong connections between the two countries.
