Upward trend in defence cooperation between Serbia, Egypt

Belgrade/Cairo, 7 August 2023

Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Defence Milos Vucevic started his visit to the Arab Republic of Egypt with a meeting with Minister of Defence and Military Production of that country, General Mohamed Ahmed Zaki.

Vucevic was formally welcomed, with a line-up of members of the Guard of the Egyptian Armed Forces and the playing of national anthems, after which, in the presence of delegations, he began a conversation with the host.

He assessed that this visit is another confirmation of good cooperation between Serbia and Egypt and the two defence ministries, expressing determination for further development and improvement of relations in the areas of military-technical, military-educational and military-military cooperation.

The Deputy Prime Minister emphasised that Serbia's long-term strategic commitment is to maintain the status of a militarily neutral state, without membership in any of the existing military-political organisations, but that this does not mean the absence of the will to improve cooperation with all relevant actors in the field of international relations, especially security and defence.

Vucevic also used the opportunity to invite the Egyptian minister to participate in the International Fair of Arms and Military Equipment "PARTNER 2023", which will be held in September of this year in Belgrade.

Zaki highlighted the importance of continuing and improving defence cooperation between the two countries, and singled out military-technical and military-military cooperation as areas of special importance.
