The new partnership will aim to facilitate government to government collaboration by making Danish expertise available to Egypt. It also forms part of Egypt’s plans in line with their sustainable development 2023 vision.

Tomas Anker Christensen said ”Denmark is keen to expand its long-standing cooperation with Egypt. He also said that placing an energy adviser at the embassy is a win-win for both countries.”
