Ambassador Gamal Bayoumi, Former Assistant Foreign Minister, stressed the significance of President Abdel Fattah e-Sisi’s current visit to the Serbian capital, Belgrade, as it comes the first such one paid by an Egyptian leader since 1987. He highlighted Egypt’s strenuous efforts to boost relations with Arab and European countries.

During a phone interview on Africa Today, he reviewed the Egyptian-Serbian historical ties since the last tripartite agreement of cooperation signed by the second president of Egypt Gamal Abdel Nasser, President of Yugoslavia Josip Broz Tito and the then Indian Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru. In this respect, he stressed Egypt’s traditional presence in all eastern European countries at all levels.

Further, Bayoumi asserted Sisi’s crucial agenda on that visit which covered regional and international files, especially after daunting repercussions of Corona’s outbreak and the Russian-Ukrainian war. He hailed the old files handled in the presser between Sisi and his Serbian counterpart Aleksander Vucic.

Syria, Libya, Lebanon and Yemen topped the discussions between the two leaders, in addition to a raft of agreements signed to strengthen cooperation in many fields and a host of memoranda of understanding in various fields; media, agriculture, trade, education, investment and arts.
