Cairo’s messages, concerns and goals from the trilateral summit

On Wednesday Cairo will host an Egyptian-Greek-Cypriot summit, bringing together Egyptian President Abdel Fattah El-Sisi, Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis, and Cyprus President Nikos Christodoulides. This is the 10th summit of its kind since the launch of the tripartite cooperation mechanism in 2014, which aims to coordinate and cooperate in the Eastern Mediterranean.

The summit is scheduled to address developments in the region, especially the war in the Gaza Strip, developments in Syria, crises in Libya, Sudan and Somalia, and economic cooperation in the field of energy.

While the summit appears to be a scheduled meeting aimed at enhancing cooperation and coordination in various fields and strengthening relations, it goes beyond a routine annual meeting.
