Egypt Seeks to Elevate Ties with Germany to Strategic Partnership
Taarek Refaat Egypt is looking to upgrade its bilateral relationship with Germany to the level of a strategic partnership, Foreign Minister Badr Abdel Ati announced Friday during high-level talks in Cairo with his German counterpart Johann Wadephul. Speaking at a joint press conference, Abdel Ati described Egyptian-German relations as 'exemplary and extremely important,' highlighting significant progress in cooperation across multiple sectors in recent years. He noted that the German foreign minister's decision to begin his regional tour in Cairo reflects the strength and depth of the countries' ties. During the talks, both ministers led expanded delegations to discuss bilateral cooperation, regional developments, and international issues of mutual concern — with particular attention given to the ongoing crisis in the Gaza Strip. The minister emphasized Egypt's growing economic ties with Germany, underscoring the contributions of more than 1,600 German companies operating in Egypt. These firms are active in strategic sectors including automotive manufacturing, conventional and renewable energy, and the emerging field of green hydrogen. 'Our partnership with Germany has played a vital role in modernizing Egypt's economy,' Abdel Aty said. He expressed hope that the relationship would soon be formally upgraded to a strategic partnership, reflecting the level of coordination and shared priorities between the two nations. He cited a recent phone conversation between President Abdel Fattah El-Sisi and German Chancellor Friedrich Merz as evidence of the deepening relationship, adding that Egypt is keen to see enhanced cooperation in development, investment, and trade. Among the key topics discussed was the second tranche of the Egypt-Germany debt swap agreement, which is expected to be finalized soon. The funds, to be paid in Egyptian pounds, will be directed toward domestic development projects. Both sides also explored mechanisms to increase trade volume and German investments in Egypt, positioning the country as a strategic gateway to African markets. Abdel Ati also highlighted Egypt's efforts to localize industry, part of its broader national development strategy, and invited greater German participation in the process. He pointed to Egypt's preferential trade access under frameworks such as the African Continental Free Trade Agreement (AfCFTA), COMESA, and the Arab Free Trade Area as additional incentives for German investors. 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 China Launches Largest Ever Aircraft Carrier Sports Former Al Zamalek Player Ibrahim Shika Passes away after Long Battle with Cancer Lifestyle Get to Know 2025 Eid Al Adha Prayer Times in Egypt Business Fear & Greed Index Plummets to Lowest Level Ever Recorded amid Global Trade War Arts & Culture Zahi Hawass: Claims of Columns Beneath the Pyramid of Khafre Are Lies News Flights suspended at Port Sudan Airport after Drone Attacks News Shell Unveils Cost-Cutting, LNG Growth Plan Videos & Features Video: Trending Lifestyle TikToker Valeria Márquez Shot Dead during Live Stream Technology 50-Year Soviet Spacecraft 'Kosmos 482' Crashes into Indian Ocean News 3 Killed in Shooting Attack in Thailand

Set to discuss the artist's loss of his mother, the project promises to tell his personal story in five parts, each representing a stage of grief - denial, anger, bargaining, depression and acceptance. In an interview, Marwan described the creative process as an album that 'didn't come overnight'. 'It was carved out by time, sorrow, and willpower. Every word and note reflects something real,' Marwan noted. 'It's not just about grief, it's about the strength to rise again and the hope of offering support to anyone who needs it, especially the younger generation. I want them to know that even the hardest moments in life don't last forever,' he added. Since he embarked on his career in 2017, Marwan has received several accolades including Best African rapper, Breakthrough Artist Of The Year and Best Artist In African Hiphop at the 2022 All Africa Music Awards. He was also Spotify's third most streamed Arabic hiphop artist of all time across the Middle East and Africa (MENA) region in 2023.
