EU Commission President Ursula von der Leyen and Egypt’s President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi have concluded a „comprehensive and strategic partnership.“ The agreement, which both signed on Sunday, is about working more closely to stem unwanted migration. But it is also about economic and political cooperation. The EU has promised Egypt financial aid of around €7.4 billion over the next four years.
