Cypriot–Egyptian relations

Cyprus	Egypt

Cypriot–Egyptian relations are foreign relations between Cyprus and Egypt. Diplomatic relations between both countries were established soon after Cyprus gained its independence in 1960. Cyprus has an embassy in Cairo and Egypt has an embassy in Nicosia.

During an April 2009 meeting at ministerial level , the countries explored ways to develop closer ties, with plans for increased collaboration both on tourism and energy related activities. There has been talk of Cyprus increasing her imports of natural gas, Egypt using Cyprus as a bridge for exports to Europe and on prospects for the training of Cypriot engineers by their Egyptian counterparts on techniques for the extraction of oil and natural gas ^[1].

President Christofias, who paid a three–day official visit to Egypt, reassured the Egyptian government officials who participated in the Forum, as well as the business people of Egypt that their country can rely on Cyprus, especially as regards the EU – Egypt relations. The Cypriot President referred to the three bilateral agreements signed Tuesday in Cairo, as well as the “very important agreements” signed last year on research for oil and gas in the region, expressing certainty that the “two governments create a very stable fundament for you, the business people, to further promote your cooperation as friends, as business people”.

He furthermore described Cyprus as a country favorable for investments, just as Egypt is favorable for Cypriot investments as well.
