Egypt’s Foreign Minister Dr Badr Ahmed Mohamed Abdelatty is set to arrive in Pakistan today (Saturday) for a two-day official visit.

The visit, being undertaken at the request of Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Senator Ishaq Dar, reflects the longstanding and cordial relations between Pakistan and Egypt, according to a statement issued by the Foreign Office.

The ties between Pakistan and Egypt are grounded in common faith, cultural affinity, and shared perspectives on regional and international issues.

The visit 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.

During the visit, the Egyptian foreign minister will hold a tête-à-tête meeting and delegation-level talks with the deputy prime minister/foreign minister.

The two sides will review the full range of bilateral relations and exchange views on regional and international developments, including the situation in Gaza.

The visit of Dr Badr Ahmed Mohamed Abdelatty is expected to reinforce Pakistan-Egypt cooperation and further advance the longstanding partnership between the two brotherly countries.
