CAIRO – 8 January 2025: President Abdel Fattah El-Sisi is set to receive on Wednesday the Prime Minister of Greece, Kyriakos Mitsotakis, and the President of Cyprus, Nikos Christodoulides, in Cairo for their 10th trilateral summit.

The summit today is expected to witness the signing of MoUs in areas including ports development, information and communications technology, boosting investment and enhancing healthcare, media reports quoted Cypriot Government Spokesperson Konstantinos Letymbiotis as saying.

Over the past decade, Egypt, Greece, and Cyprus have advanced their trilateral cooperation across various domains, including in energy, economics, and defense, as well as their political and diplomatic coordination.

This partnership has involved high-level exchanges and multiple summits to advance joint projects and initiatives.

A notable project in this collaboration is the EuroAfrica Interconnector, which is set to establish an electricity link between the grids of Egypt, Cyprus, and Greece through a 1,396 km subsea cable with a total capacity of 2,000 MW, serving as an energy conduit between Africa and Europe.

Furthermore, Egypt and Greece are collaborating on the GREGY project, aiming to create a 3,000 MW submarine cable spanning around 950 km, facilitating the exchange of green and cost-effective energy.
