Egyptian president in Greece for energy, security talks

by PH December 9, 2015, 12:24 pm

Athens – Egyptian President Abdel-Fattah al-Sissi is in Athens for a two-day visit that will focus on energy and shipping, as financially troubled Greece seeks economic cooperation with regional partners.

Al-Sissi, who came to power after a military coup, will have talks with Greece’s left-wing prime minister, Alexis Tsipras, later on Tuesday.

In an earlier meeting, Greek President Procopis Pavlopoulos praised Egypt’s “stabilising” role in the Middle East.

On Wednesday, al-Sissi and Tsipras will be joined by Cypriot President Nicos Anastasiades for talks expected to be dominated by the exploitation of Mediterranean undersea gas deposits as well as regional security.

A similar meeting was held in Cyprus in April.
