<\/a> Praise and \u201cconcern\u201d from Washington as US-Egypt strategic talks begin:<\/strong> US Secretary of State Anthony Blinken praised Egypt\u2019s recent diplomatic efforts to negotiate ceasefires in Gaza and Libya but voiced \u201cconcern\u201d over its human rights record during a joint briefing to reporters<\/a> (watch, runtime: 17:00<\/a>) yesterday that kicked off the first US-Egypt strategic talks in six years.<\/p>\n

Washington is happy with the Egypt-Israel relationship:<\/strong> Egypt\u2019s mediation during the conflict between Israel and Hamas in May was \u201cvital\u201d to achieving a ceasefire, Blinken said, after congratulating Shoukry for the warming relationship with Israel, which he said \u201chas never been stronger\u201d following PM Naftali Bennett\u2019s visit in October. Blinken also lauded Egypt for its work on files including Libya (where Egypt is pushing the reunification of the central bank) and Iran.<\/p>\n

But critically, there\u2019s been no movement on GERD:<\/strong> There doesn\u2019t seem to have been much progress on the US\u2019 position regarding Cairo\u2019s dispute with Addis Ababa over the Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam, with Blinken saying that the administration \u201ccontinues to support negotiated agreement \u2026 that will address the interests of all parties.\u201d Egypt has been keen to persuade the US to take a more assertive stance against Ethiopia, but Washington has so far been reluctant to take sides in the dispute.<\/p>\n

Human rights a \u201cconcern\u201d:<\/strong> Blinken reiterated the Biden administration\u2019s emphasis on human rights, saying that improving Egypt\u2019s record is \u201cessential\u201d to the bilateral relationship. The US \u201cvery much welcomes\u201d the launch of a new human rights strategy<\/a> but there remain \u201cother issues of concern, more areas where positive steps can be taken,\u201d he said, without going into details. In response, Shoukry called the strategy \u201cirrefutable evidence\u201d that the government is committed to create a \u201cmodern democratic state.\u201d<\/p>\n

There was no mention of military aid to Egypt:<\/strong> In September, the White House announced it would withhold USD 130 mn<\/a> of Egypt\u2019s military aid until Cairo meets several conditions regarding its treatment of civil society workers, opposition activists and journalists. It\u2019s still not totally clear what these conditions are though: State Department Ned Price declined to provide specifics<\/a> when quizzed by reporters after the two foreign secretaries addressed journalists.<\/p>\n

More cooperation on climate + the economy, but no details:<\/strong> Blinken announced the creation of a joint economic commission to explore ways to deepen economic and business ties, and a new US-Egypt climate working group, which will look to help Egypt transition towards renewable energy. \u201cWe\u2019re very much looking forward to partnering with Egypt as it undertakes this transition, including by supporting a visit of US companies that want to be a part of it,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

The meeting got the headline treatment on the nation\u2019s talk shows last night<\/strong>, with Shoukry dropping in to Kelma Akhira (watch, runtime: 16:30<\/a>) and Al Hayah Al Youm covering the talks (watch, runtime: 1:01<\/a>).<\/p>\n

The presser is getting coverage in the foreign press:<\/strong> Associated Press<\/a> | Reuters<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Egypt + Israel ink Sinai security pact:<\/strong> Egypt has agreed to increase its border forces in Rafah following an agreement with Israeli military leaders, who travelled to the Sinai Peninsula yesterday for a rare public meeting, the IDF said on Twitter<\/a>. The two sides agreed to amend the terms of a security pact allowing Egypt to increase its forces in the region.<\/p>\n

The agreement got widespread coverage on the airwaves: <\/strong>Khaled Okasha, general manager of the Egyptian Center for Strategic Studies, described the agreement as \u201ca positive and advanced step\u201d in an interview on Masaa DMC (watch, runtime: 5:10<\/a>), while another analyst told Kelma Akhira\u2019s Lamees El Hadidi that Egypt\u2019s stronger presence will help to reduce illegal immigration, terrorism and narcotics smuggling (watch, runtime: 8:33<\/a>).<\/p>\n

El Sisi phones Macron ahead of Libya conference in Paris:<\/strong> President Abdel Fattah El Sisi phoned his French counterpart Emmanuel Macron to discuss the international conference on Libya, which will take place in Paris on Friday, Ittihadiya said in a statement<\/a>. Participants in the summit are hoping to lay the groundwork for next month\u2019s crucial presidential elections and finally find an agreement on the departure of foreign mercenaries, which were used by both sides of the country\u2019s recent civil war.<\/p>\n

New development grants coming from China:<\/strong> International Cooperation Minister Rania Al Mashat signed an economic and technical cooperation agreement with Chinese Ambassador to Egypt Liao Liqiang yesterday, according to a ministry statement<\/a>. The new agreement will see China providing Egypt with an undisclosed number of fresh development grants after Egypt determines its \u201cpriority areas,\u201d the statement says.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
