The Association Council between the Arab Republic of Egypt and the United Kingdom convened on 18 June 2026, co-chaired by the Egyptian Minister of Foreign Affairs, International Cooperation and Egyptian Expatriates, and the UK Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs. The Ministers reaffirmed the strength of the bilateral partnership, underpinned by shared strategic objectives and a commitment to deepening political, economic, and cultural cooperation within the framework of the Egypt-UK Association Agreement.
The two Ministers agreed on the importance of promoting mutual economic growth and prosperity, including through strengthening cooperation on green growth, climate action, and accelerating the clean energy transition. The Ministers also emphasised the value of closer cooperation on migration, including addressing its root causes, as well as on border management and organised crime. The two Ministers looked forward to finalising the Tariff Review, to enhance agriculture trade and investment between the two countries.
Following the Association Council, the Ministers exchanged views on regional and international issues, including Palestine, Sudan, the Strait of Hormuz, and the Horn of Africa.
