As for the bilateral relations, the discussion highlighted many cooperative topics that included increasing trade surplus, enhancing access of Egyptian goods and products into the Palestinian market, and boosting cooperation in the fields of health, agriculture, education, culture, and electrical connection.

On his part, the Palestinian Prime Minister Mohammad Shtayyeh said that “Egypt have always been a great supporter for the Palestinian case”, and “today we need Egypt more than any other time”, and referred to the historic and rooted bilateral relations connecting the two countries”.

The two sides signed a number of protocols, including political consultations between the Egyptian and Palestinian Foreign Ministries, and cooperation in the agricultural field between the Ministries of Agriculture in both countries.
