Pulbished on:

Tripoli, November 11, 2026 (LANA) – Egypt and Malta discussed developments in the situation in Libya, along with a number of regional and international issues of mutual interest, during official consultations held in Cairo as part of efforts to strengthen coordination and consultations on regional matters and bilateral relations.

According to a statement published by the Egyptian Ministry of Foreign Affairs on its official page, Ambassador Wael Hamed, Assistant Foreign Minister for European Affairs, received Christopher Cutajar, Permanent Secretary of Malta’s Ministry for Foreign Affairs and European Affairs, and his accompanying delegation, at the ministry’s headquarters yesterday, Tuesday.

The discussions addressed developments in Libya, Sudan, the Gaza Strip and Iran, as well as the Ukrainian crisis.

Regarding bilateral relations, the consultations focused on ways to develop cooperation between the two countries in the fields of transportation and logistics services, trade, investment and renewable energy. They also explored the possibility of exporting liquefied natural gas (LNG) to Malta, in addition to cooperation on migration and the movement of skilled labour.

The Egyptian side stressed the importance of strengthening relations with Malta, both bilaterally and within the framework of the European Union, expressing its interest in expanding joint cooperation, particularly in maritime connectivity between the two countries and improving links between their ports.

The Egyptian side also welcomed ongoing efforts to establish a direct air route between Cairo and Valletta.

Both sides agreed to hold the next round of political consultations at the level of assistant foreign ministers in the Maltese capital next year.

These consultations come as part of ongoing Egyptian-Maltese engagement on regional issues, particularly developments in Libya, alongside discussions on prospects for expanding cooperation and coordination between the two countries.
