On October 14, 2020, the Egyptian Council for Foreign Affairs hosted Ambassador Christian Berger, the head of the European Union delegation to Egypt, to discuss a number of current issues. The meeting was inaugurated by Ambassador Dr. Mounir Zahran, ECFA Chairman, and attended by ambassadors: Dr. Ezzat Saad, ECFA Director, Raouf Saad, Noman Galal, and Wafaa Bassim, as well as Engineer Nabil Shoeib, Businessman Mohamed Kassem, Dr. Hazem Attiatallah, Engineer Loay Radwan, and Dr. Ahmed Abu Dumah.
The discussion shed light on the Egyptian-European relations, and European policy regarding a number of issues and crises in the region, such as the Arab-Israeli conflict and the Libyan crisis. It also tackled the global Covid-19 crisis, and its repercussions on the global economy and inter-state relations, including the cooperation that emerged between countries in the framework of the global initiative to find a drug for the pandemic, and China’s recent accession to it, therefore we can assess that there is some kind of cooperation between states to build upon it in the future for a world in which security and stability prevail.
