Romania, Egypt sign agreements on tourism, scrapping diplomat visa requirements

Romania and Egypt signed three agreements yesterday, including one on tourism promotion and another to scrap visa requirements for diplomats, the Associated Press reports. The agreements were signed during Foreign Minister Sameh Shoukry’s visit to Bucharest, where he discussed migrant flow and counter terrorism, with his Romanian counterpart Teodor Melescanu. This follows the announcement that Egypt and Germany signed an agreement Monday to slow illegal migrant flow. The two foreign ministers also tackled cooperation in energy, oil, IT, and agriculture. Shoukry’s visit is the first of its kind in seven years.
