Egypt, Vietnam upgrade ties to comprehensive partnership
Egyptian President Abdel Fattah Al-Sisi announced on Tuesday the elevation of Egypt–Vietnam relations to the level of a comprehensive partnership during the official visit of Vietnamese President Luong Cuong to Cairo. The visit saw the signing of two memoranda of understanding in the fields of local and economic development and centred on expanding bilateral cooperation across key sectors. A formal welcoming ceremony was held at Cairo's Al-Ittihadiya Palace, followed by a closed-door meeting between the two presidents and extended talks between their delegations. Discussions explored opportunities for strengthened cooperation in agriculture, trade, investment, manufacturing, tourism, and education, according to a statement from the Egyptian Presidency. In a joint press conference, President Al-Sisi welcomed President Cuong and hailed the growing momentum in bilateral ties, expressing hope for deeper collaboration between the two governments and peoples. He stressed that both countries possess untapped potential, noting that Egypt could serve as Vietnam's gateway to the Middle East and Africa, while Vietnam could provide Egypt with access to Southeast Asian markets. Al-Sisi said talks focused on boosting trade volumes and investment flows, with particular attention to infrastructure, digital transformation, food industries, pharmaceuticals, renewable energy, electric vehicles, and textiles. The two sides also agreed to enhance cultural and educational exchanges, including scholarships for Vietnamese students at Al-Azhar University. Addressing the war in Gaza, Al-Sisi reaffirmed Egypt's unwavering commitment to de-escalation, the facilitation of humanitarian aid, and mediation efforts for the release of hostages, in cooperation with partners such as Qatar and the United States. Rejecting accusations that Egypt is obstructing aid deliveries, he stressed that the Rafah border crossing has remained open and was damaged four times during the ongoing war. He stated that more than 5,000 aid trucks are currently waiting on the Egyptian side, and that Egypt has provided over 70% of all humanitarian assistance that has entered Gaza during the past 21 months. 'The war in Gaza has gone far beyond any political objectives—it has become a war of starvation and genocide aimed at eliminating the Palestinian cause,' Al-Sisi declared. 'We are ready to facilitate aid at any time, but we will never accept the forced displacement of Palestinians from their land.' He urged the international community not to remain silent, warning that history would judge those who failed to act. Al-Sisi renewed his call for an immediate ceasefire and the launch of reconstruction efforts, stressing that a lasting settlement must be based on international legitimacy and guarantee peace and stability in the region. President Al-Sisi also praised Vietnam's longstanding support for the Palestinian people and its firm rejection of any attempts to displace them.

Pakistan Embassy Cairo Observes Youm-e-Istehsal by Organising a Seminar 'Kashmir: A Bleeding Wound Shaking the Collective Conscience of the Free World'
SEENEWS Embassy of Pakistan, Cairo organised a Seminar titled 'Kashmir: A Bleeding Wound Shaking the Collective Conscience of the Free World' in observance of Youm-e-Istehsal today. The panel of speakers included notable Egyptians representing media, civil society and academia. The event started with Recitation from The Holy Quran; National Anthems of Egypt and Pakistan were played afterwards. Messages of the President, the Prime Minister and Deputy Prime Minister / Foreign Minister on Youm-e-Istehsal were read out for the audience. The Panelists in their separate, but equally impactful presentations, condemned Indian occupation Forces' unabated state oppression on innocent Kashmiris, human rights violations, and questioned the malafide conviction and sentencing of Kashmiri political leadership and human right activists. They expressed serious concerns at Indian government's anti-Kashmiri and anti-Muslim policies, attempts to change the demography of the occupied territory by unilaterally and illegally changing the autonomous status of the region on 5 August 2019, and urged the international community to play a role in facilitating a just and peaceful solution of the Jammu and Kashmir dispute in accordance with the UNSC resolution and the wishes of the Kashmiri people. The speakers especially lauded the Pakistan civilian and military leadership for demonstrating mature, befitting and illustrious response to the unprovoked Indian aggression against Pakistan during Operation Bunyan-un-Marsoos. The speakers also admired the timely intervention by the international community, particularly the central role of US President Donald Trump in avoiding a catastrophe of epic proportions during war between the two nuclear-armed neighbours. Ambassador Aamir Shouket in his remarks underscored necessity of immediate resolution of the Kashmir dispute to avoid a catastrophic nightmare in South Asia. He stated that Kashmir and Palestine issues have remained unresolved for decades because India and Israel do not want the valiant people of Kashmir and Palestine to find peace. The Ambassador stated that the participation of varied and notably large gathering of Egyptian brethren today sends a strong message to the oppressed people in IIOJK and Palestine that we are standing behind them morally, politically and diplomatically. The Ambassador noted with satisfaction that Pakistan and Egypt have successfully defeated the menace of terrorism for the sake of peace, stability and development. The Ambassador concluded his remarks by stating that peace in South Asia and the Middle East will remain elusive till the resolution of the Kashmir and Palestine issues under the relevant UN resolutions and in accordance with the wishes and aspirations of Kashmiris and Palestinians. A large number of intellectuals, journalists, students and Pakistani community members attended the event. A special documentary highlighting Indian state atrocities in IIOJK was also screened at the Seminar. 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 News Ayat Khaddoura's Final Video Captures Bombardment of Beit Lahia Business Egyptian Pound Undervalued by 30%, Says Goldman Sachs 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 Arts & Culture Lebanese Media: Fayrouz Collapses after Death of Ziad Rahbani Sports Get to Know 2025 WWE Evolution Results

Egypt and Pakistan Move Toward Deeper Defense and Security Partnership
H-Tayea Egypt and Pakistan appear to be paving the way toward a deeper, potentially strategic military alliance, as President Abdel Fattah El-Sisi met with General Sahir Shamshad Mirza, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff of Pakistan, in Cairo on Wednesday. The high-level meeting focused on expanding military and security cooperation, amid shared interest in regional stability and the fight against extremism. The visit, framed as part of broader efforts to deepen bilateral strategic ties, comes at a time when both countries are exploring new military partnerships and defense industry collaborations. According to a statement from the Egyptian Presidency, General Mirza conveyed greetings from Pakistani Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif, while President Sisi praised the growing momentum in Egypt-Pakistan relations. The leaders reportedly discussed joint defense initiatives, counter-terrorism efforts, and regional cooperation mechanisms. Defense analyst Umair Aslan, speaking to Defense Arabia, highlighted the significant opportunity for Egypt to benefit from Pakistan's growing defense industry. Over the past two decades, Pakistan has emerged as a credible and cost-effective defense supplier, offering viable alternatives to traditional Western sources. According to Aslan, one of the most appealing options for Egypt could be the JF-17 Thunder multirole fighter, co-developed by Pakistan and China. The lightweight, versatile, and affordable aircraft could help modernize Egypt's air fleet without the heavy political strings or financial costs often associated with US or French jets. Despite its lower cost, the JF-17 boasts modern avionics, weapon systems, and air superiority capabilities, making it a practical choice for flexible air defense. In terms of ground forces, Aslan suggested that Pakistan's "Al-Khalid" and "Al-Zarrar" main battle tanks may also be of interest to Egypt. The Al-Khalid, equipped with Chinese and Pakistani technology, offers strong engine performance and advanced targeting systems. Meanwhile, the Zarrar is a low-cost modernization option for older tanks—something Egypt may explore, especially as it aims to enhance local manufacturing capabilities. While Pakistan's ballistic missile systems may not be Egypt's primary focus, anti-ship and conventional surface-to-surface missile systems developed by Pakistan could be valuable additions to Egypt's arsenal, particularly as Cairo looks to build a cost-effective and adaptable defense posture. What makes this evolving relationship noteworthy is that both countries appear willing to move beyond simple arms transactions. According to Aslan, the Sisi-Mirza meeting, along with other recent defense engagements, signals a clear intent to forge a deeper defense partnership that includes industrial collaboration, technical exchange, and joint military training. read more Analysis- Turkey Has 0 Regional Allies...
