President of Montenegro Jakov Milatović arrived in Cairo, beginning his official visit to Egypt, which will last from July 19 to 21, the Public Relations Office of the President of Montenegro announced.
As stated in the statement, Montenegro and Egypt this year mark 20 years since the establishment of diplomatic relations, and the visit at the presidential level represents an important step forward and an opportunity for the long-standing friendship between the two countries to gain stronger political, economic and institutional content.
"We have just landed in Cairo. Montenegro and Egypt are celebrating 20 years of diplomatic relations this year, and we want to use this visit for a new phase of concrete cooperation. With me in the delegation are the Minister of Culture and Media Tamara Vujović and the Deputy Speaker of the Parliament Nikola Camaj, as well as representatives of the Chamber of Commerce, the Investment Agency, the Port Authority and the Port of Bar," said Milatović.
He added that they expect "important talks, meetings with businesspeople and the signing of agreements that will open up space for greater trade exchange, new investments and a stronger connection between our institutions and economy."
"I believe that we will return from Cairo with concrete results for Montenegro," said Milatović upon arrival in the Egyptian capital.
During the visit, Milatović will meet with Egyptian President Abdel Fattah El Sisi, Prime Minister Mostafa Madbouly, and representatives of the Egyptian business community.
"The focus of the talks will be on improving political dialogue, strengthening trade and investment cooperation. Egypt is one of the key political and economic powers of the Arab world and one of the largest economies on the African continent. Its large market, strategic position and role at the crossroads of Africa, Asia and the Mediterranean provide significant space for the development of cooperation with Montenegro. The official visit of President Milatović represents an important step towards translating the long-standing friendship between Montenegro and Egypt into new agreements, stronger business ties and concrete benefits for the citizens and economies of the two countries," the statement said.
