Amb. Abu Zeid Affirms: Egyptian–Belgian Relations… A Gateway to Strategic Investment, Global Co-op
Mohamed Wadie Ambassador Ahmed Abu Zeid, Egypt's Ambassador to Belgium, has confirmed that Egyptian–Belgian relations are entering a new era of strategic depth and opportunity, particularly in the fields of green energy, modern technology, and trade cooperation. In a time of complex global realignments, Egypt is positioning itself as a stable and attractive partner for European investors and policymakers alike. In an interview with Mohamed Wadie, the Editor-in-Chief of SEE News, Ambassador Abu Zeid underlined that Belgian investments in Egypt are experiencing significant growth, notably marked by a landmark €4 billion agreement in the renewable energy and green hydrogen sectors, signed during a recent investment forum. These investments reflect a deepening economic partnership that is further supported by Belgium's strong presence in sectors such as infrastructure, advanced manufacturing, and technological innovation. The Ambassador noted that Belgian universities are also home to a growing number of Egyptian students in specialized academic programs, adding a vibrant educational dimension to the bilateral relationship. Moreover, Luxembourg—a close partner in the Benelux region—has become an important player in Egypt's financial services sector, contributing to expanding trade and capital flow between the two sides. According to Abu Zeid, Egypt offers European markets a unique blend of advantages: Strategic geographical proximity to Europe A skilled and competitively priced workforce Modern logistics and infrastructure hubs, including the Suez Canal Economic Zone A stable macroeconomic environment and strong government incentives for foreign investment He emphasized that amid growing challenges across Europe—such as resource shortages and labor gaps—Egypt is emerging as a natural extension of European value chains, capable of providing scalable solutions in energy, supply chains, and production. On Egypt's relationship with the European Union, Ambassador Abu Zeid explained that the EU is actively working to diversify its partnerships globally, as seen in recent diplomatic missions to China, Japan, and South Africa. Egypt, he stressed, was among the first countries in the region to establish a comprehensive strategic partnership with the EU, giving it a central role in Europe's policy toward both the Middle East and Africa. Egypt's role, he said, goes beyond economic alignment. It serves as a pillar of regional stability, offering credible diplomatic channels and acting as a reliable partner in energy transition, migration policy, and counterterrorism cooperation. Turning to Egypt's engagement with NATO, Abu Zeid spoke about Egypt's participation in the Mediterranean Dialogue, a cooperative framework that includes seven countries from the southern Mediterranean. Egypt works closely with NATO on capacity building in maritime security, counterterrorism, and irregular migration control. Importantly, he emphasized Egypt's steadfast commitment to balanced diplomacy, steering clear of bloc-based rivalries. 'Egypt does not align with polarized alliances. Instead, we maintain strategic, respectful, and independent relationships with all global powers,' he stated. This non-aligned yet cooperative stance, he added, is widely respected within NATO and among European partners. On the investment front, Belgium currently ranks as Egypt's fifth-largest European investor, with approximately $1.4 billion in capital concentrated in infrastructure, renewable energy, and industrial development. The outlook for 2025 points to further Belgian investments, particularly in automotive manufacturing, agricultural technologies, and clean energy solutions. Ambassador Abu Zeid's message is clear: Egypt is not only open for business — it is ready for partnership. As the global economic map is redrawn, Egypt's combination of stability, economic ambition, and diplomatic clarity makes it a key regional player and a trusted bridge between Europe, Africa, and the Arab world. read more 2 Most Inspirational Green Projects in Egypt AEW Dynamite, WWE NXT to Strive over Viewership Tonight Egypt Marks 70th Anniv. of 2011 Revolution, National Police Day In Depth: WWE NXT Halloween Havoc In Depth: AEW Dynamite, WWE NXT Tuesday Viewership Strive Videos & Features WATCH: Egyptians Break Ramadan Fasts in Matariya Videos & Features GrEEk Campus Hosts Jobzella Fifth Career Fair Videos & Features 3 Iconic Ramadan Songs of All Times Videos & Features Top 4 Destinations to Visit in Upper Egypt News Israeli-Linked Hadassah Clinic in Moscow Treats Wounded Iranian IRGC Fighters Arts & Culture "Jurassic World Rebirth" Gets Streaming Date News China Launches Largest Ever Aircraft Carrier Videos & Features Tragedy Overshadows MC Alger Championship Celebration: One Fan Dead, 11 Injured After Stadium Fall Lifestyle Get to Know 2025 Eid Al Adha Prayer Times in Egypt Arts & Culture South Korean Actress Kang Seo-ha Dies at 31 after Cancer Battle Business Egyptian Pound Undervalued by 30%, Says Goldman Sachs Sports Get to Know 2025 WWE Evolution Results News "Tensions Escalate: Iran Probes Allegations of Indian Tech Collaboration with Israeli Intelligence" Arts & Culture Hawass Foundation Launches 1st Course to Teach Ancient Egyptian Language

Turkish Amb. Highlights Role of Syrian-Origin Entrepreneurs in Boosting Egypt's Economy
Ahmed Emam Turkish Ambassador to Egypt, H.E. Salih Mutlu Şen, praised the contribution of Syrian-origin Turkish entrepreneurs to Egypt's economy during a visit to the headquarters of Al-Andalus, a company founded and operated by Turkish businessmen of Syrian descent in 6th of October City. In a post on X, Ambassador Şen described Al-Andalus as a model of regional cooperation, noting that the firm imports engines from three Turkish companies and provides assembly, maintenance, and repair services in Egypt. He added that the company also plans to launch a local manufacturing line — a move that could deepen industrial ties between Turkey and Egypt. Highlighting the broader impact of migration, Şen emphasized that the 1.5 million Syrian-origin migrants in Egypt are making significant contributions to the economy as businessmen, entrepreneurs, skilled workers, and artisans. 'I believe this community could serve as a driving force for future economic and transportation integration between Turkey, Egypt, and Syria,' the ambassador wrote. Al-Andalus represents a growing trend of transnational entrepreneurship among the Syrian diaspora, especially those with links to Turkey. The ambassador's remarks reflect Ankara's support for grassroots economic initiatives that could complement formal diplomatic and trade relations in the region. Analysts suggest that businesses like Al-Andalus are not only enhancing local industries but also building bridges that may foster deeper regional cooperation in the post-conflict reconstruction of Syria and broader Middle Eastern integration. read more Gold prices rise, 21 Karat at EGP 3685 NATO's Role in Israeli-Palestinian Conflict US Expresses 'Strong Opposition' to New Turkish Military Operation in Syria Shoukry Meets Director-General of FAO Lavrov: confrontation bet. nuclear powers must be avoided News Iran Summons French Ambassador over Foreign Minister Remarks News Aboul Gheit Condemns Israeli Escalation in West Bank News Greek PM: Athens Plays Key Role in Improving Energy Security in Region News One Person Injured in Explosion at Ukrainian Embassy in Madrid News Israeli-Linked Hadassah Clinic in Moscow Treats Wounded Iranian IRGC Fighters Arts & Culture "Jurassic World Rebirth" Gets Streaming Date News China Launches Largest Ever Aircraft Carrier Videos & Features Tragedy Overshadows MC Alger Championship Celebration: One Fan Dead, 11 Injured After Stadium Fall Lifestyle Get to Know 2025 Eid Al Adha Prayer Times in Egypt Arts & Culture South Korean Actress Kang Seo-ha Dies at 31 after Cancer Battle Business Egyptian Pound Undervalued by 30%, Says Goldman Sachs Sports Get to Know 2025 WWE Evolution Results News "Tensions Escalate: Iran Probes Allegations of Indian Tech Collaboration with Israeli Intelligence" Arts & Culture Hawass Foundation Launches 1st Course to Teach Ancient Egyptian Language

Amb. Ahmed Abu Zeid: Egypt-EU Partnership as Model for Cooperation & Development in Middle East
Interview by Mohamed Wadie In the context of the extensive and complex relations between Egypt and the European Union, which have roots spanning decades, Ambassador Ahmed Abu Zeid's role in Brussels stands out as a central link between Cairo and Brussels. These relations, considered a model of comprehensive strategic partnership, cover diverse fields including economy, security, culture, and education. In our interview with Ambassador Ahmed Abu Zeid, we review the depth and dimensions of this partnership, highlight key milestones in its development, and discuss the challenges and opportunities it faces amid current geopolitical and economic changes. Egyptian-European Relations: A Historical Continuity and Diverse Fields of Cooperation Ambassador Ahmed Abu Zeid explains that the relations between Egypt and Europe are not a recent development but are deeply rooted historically and extend over many decades, covering numerous areas such as economy, security, culture, and migration. These relations were founded on the Egypt-European Partnership Agreement signed in 2004, which established specialized committees covering trade, transport, migration, as well as technological and educational issues. The importance of continuous political dialogue is also emphasized through the Joint Cooperation Council between the Egyptian Foreign Minister and the EU High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy. The Comprehensive Strategic Partnership: A Turning Point A decisive turning point came last year with the signing of the comprehensive strategic partnership, which elevated the level of relations between Egypt and the European Union to new heights. This partnership is granted to only a limited number of countries, confirming Egypt's importance as the first country in the Middle East and North Africa to receive this distinguished status, reflecting Egypt's pivotal role for the EU and vice versa. European Financial Support to Egypt: A Comprehensive Package for Economic Stability Ambassador Abu Zeid focuses on the financial support package decided by the EU for Egypt under this partnership, totaling 5 billion euros, including 1.8 billion euros in direct financial support, investment guarantees, and grants for migration projects amounting to 200 million euros. The package is divided into two tranches: the first tranche (1 billion euros) was disbursed at the end of last year, and the second (4 billion euros) was recently approved by the European Parliament and the European Council to begin disbursing before the end of this year. This support comes at a critical time amid global and regional economic crises, including food and energy crises and maritime security tensions affecting the Suez Canal and Egypt's economic returns. The disbursement is contingent on a comprehensive economic reform program done in cooperation with the IMF, which required extensive negotiations with European parliamentarians to ensure proper management that benefits Egypt and the region. Geopolitical Challenges and Their Impact on Egyptian-European Cooperation The ambassador points to regional and global challenges facing both Egypt and the EU, such as conflicts in the Middle East, peace crises, and the Russia-Ukraine war, which have caused disruptions in supply chains, energy, and food. These crises require multilateral diplomatic dialogue to maintain stability and peace, demonstrating the importance of the strategic partnership in confronting shared challenges. He also stresses the need for the European Parliament to understand Egypt's regional role in supporting peace and conflict resolution, which builds credibility and growing support for these relations. Future Prospects: The Upcoming Summit and Partnership Dynamics Egypt and the EU view the coming period as an opportunity to strengthen the partnership, especially with the first summit within the framework of the comprehensive strategic partnership, expected to create strong dynamics in relations and rearrange priorities and political, economic, and security interests for both parties. This summit comes at a time when the region and the world face complex challenges that require combined efforts amid financial and debt crises, international law challenges, and security and economic issues. This dialogue reflects a clear vision and confidence in the depth of the Egypt-EU partnership, founded on shared interests and mutual support in facing contemporary challenges. Ambassador Ahmed Abu Zeid, with his extensive diplomatic experience, provides an objective and comprehensive picture of today's Egypt-European relations and their vital future. read more Gold prices rise, 21 Karat at EGP 3685 NATO's Role in Israeli-Palestinian Conflict US Expresses 'Strong Opposition' to New Turkish Military Operation in Syria Shoukry Meets Director-General of FAO Lavrov: confrontation bet. nuclear powers must be avoided News Iran Summons French Ambassador over Foreign Minister Remarks News Aboul Gheit Condemns Israeli Escalation in West Bank News Greek PM: Athens Plays Key Role in Improving Energy Security in Region News One Person Injured in Explosion at Ukrainian Embassy in Madrid News Israeli-Linked Hadassah Clinic in Moscow Treats Wounded Iranian IRGC Fighters Arts & Culture "Jurassic World Rebirth" Gets Streaming Date News China Launches Largest Ever Aircraft Carrier Videos & Features Tragedy Overshadows MC Alger Championship Celebration: One Fan Dead, 11 Injured After Stadium Fall Lifestyle Get to Know 2025 Eid Al Adha Prayer Times in Egypt Arts & Culture South Korean Actress Kang Seo-ha Dies at 31 after Cancer Battle Business Egyptian Pound Undervalued by 30%, Says Goldman Sachs Sports Get to Know 2025 WWE Evolution Results News "Tensions Escalate: Iran Probes Allegations of Indian Tech Collaboration with Israeli Intelligence" Arts & Culture Hawass Foundation Launches 1st Course to Teach Ancient Egyptian Language
