September 23, 2024 – New York, United States – Global Affairs Canada

Following the meeting today between the Honourable Mélanie Joly, Minister of Foreign Affairs of Canada, and His Excellency Dr. Badr Abdelatty, Minister of Foreign Affairs, Emigration and Egyptian Expatriates of Egypt, on the margins of the United Nations General Assembly meetings in New York, the following joint report was issued:

In keeping with the long-standing partnership of friendship between Canada and Egypt, established over 70 years of diplomatic relations, both parties reaffirmed their mutual desire to strengthen cooperation between our two countries.

Ministers Joly and Abdelatty stressed the need to advance and strengthen bilateral relations, including economic and trade exchanges, as well as the promotion of tourism and the strengthening of people-to-people interactions. Both ministers agreed that the governments of Canada and Egypt can achieve much by working together to continue building a reinvigorated platform for bilateral cooperation in all its dimensions.

To this end, the two ministers discussed the issue of mutual facilitation of travel and tourism between the two countries, as well as the possibility of exempting Canadian citizens travelling to Egypt from the requirement to obtain a prior entry visa. Minister Abdelatty agreed that Egypt will take this step very soon and that it will be announced in due course. Minister Joly thanked him for this positive signal, which is in the spirit of Egyptian-Canadian friendship, and in a true demonstration of the partnership between the two countries, which will celebrate 70 years of diplomatic relations this year.
