The Minister of Foreign Affairs of Serbia, Nikola Selaković, talked today with the Ambassador of Egypt in Belgrade, Amr Aljowaily.

Minister Selaković said that the two countries are bound by sincere friendship and that the cooperation that Yugoslavia and Egypt, as founders, achieved within the Non-Aligned Movement, is strongly etched in the memory of our people.

Selaković said that Serbia continues with its policy of friendship towards Egypt and the whole of Africa, noting that we are ready to strengthen and improve our cooperation in areas of common interest.

The minister also reminded of his recent visit to Egypt, emphasizing that our country is clearly committed to further intensifying the political dialogue and exchange of visits at the high and highest level.

The head of Serbian diplomacy told his interlocutor that we support the activities of the Government of Egypt aimed at preserving the stability of the country and its economic progress, emphasizing that we are looking forward to the success of the Egyptian economy.

When it comes to economic cooperation between the two countries, Selaković assessed that they do not follow excellent political relations, as well as that there are significant potentials for its strengthening in the areas of agriculture, tourism, health, telecommunications, construction, machine industry and mining.

He added that holding a session of the Joint Committee for Economic Cooperation and the Joint Business Council could give an important impetus to the development of economic relations.
