The UK Foreign Secretary, Yvette Cooper, visited Egypt from 17 to 18 June and met with Foreign Minister Dr Badr Abdelatty and NCAG chief Dr Ali Shaath. During the trip, the two ministers co‑chaired the third Association Council meeting, reviewing their bilateral relationship and discussing cooperation on growth, migration, and regional security, with a Strategic Partnership expected later in the year. Cooper pledged £3 million for Gaza recovery, £8.7 million for Egypt’s economic reform through a World Bank partnership, and £9 million to help North African countries manage migration. She also reaffirmed the UK’s support for Palestinian‑led governance in Gaza. The visit underscored the UK’s commitment to stability in the region.
