ISLAMABAD: Egyptian Minister of Foreign Affairs Dr Badr Ahmed Mohamed Abdelatty will undertake an official visit to Pakistan on November 29 and 30.


The Egyptian FM's arrival — who is visiting the country at the invitation of Pakistan's Foreign Minister Ishaq Dar — reflected "longstanding and cordial relations between Pakistan and Egypt, grounded in common faith, cultural affinity, and shared perspectives on regional and international issues," the Foreign Office said in a post on X. 


"It will contribute to further strengthening the strategic direction of Pakistan-Egypt relations and placing them on a broader trajectory, with a focus on political, economic, defence, cultural, and people-to-people cooperation," the FO said. 


The Egyptian FM will hold "a tête-à-tête meeting and delegation-level talks" with the FM Dar, where the two sides will review a "full range of bilateral relations and exchange views on regional and international developments, including the situation in Gaza." 


According to the statement, the visit is expected to reinforce Pakistan-Egypt "cooperation and further advance the longstanding partnership between the two brotherly countries."


Last month, the two countries had agreed to strengthen economic and security cooperation in a meeting between Chief of Army Staff Field Marshal Asim Munir and Egyptian President Abdel Fattah El-Sisi in Cairo. 


The two countries also agreed to enhance cooperation in the maritime and industrial sectors to boost industrial activity and regional trade.
