Pakistan and Egypt have agreed to enhance their economic and defense ties after a prolonged period of stagnant relations, as articulated during a recent visit by Egyptian Foreign Minister Badr Abdelatty to Islamabad. The discussions, led by Pakistani Deputy Prime Minister Ishaq Dar, included plans for a Pakistan-Egypt Business Council and an expansion of trade initiatives, with a focus on expediting visas for the business community. Both nations expressed commitment to strategic cooperation and solidarity in combating terrorism, with Egypt offering to share its experiences in tackling violent extremism. This deepened partnership could play a significant role in strengthening regional ties and addressing shared security challenges.
