Event Summary

Qatar's Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs, Mohammed bin Abdulrahman bin Jassim Al Thani, met with Egypt's Foreign Minister Badr Abdelatty on multiple occasions, including on the sidelines of the seventh session of the Qatari-Egyptian Joint Higher Committee in Cairo on August 20, 2026, and at Arab ministerial committee meetings in Amman. The meetings focused on strengthening bilateral relations, with notable progress in economic and investment ties, including an 80% increase in trade exchange in 2025 and the launch of a sustainable aviation fuel production project in the Egypt — Suez Canal Economic Zone with Qatari investment. The two sides also discussed regional issues, including the Gaza conflict, condemning Israel's rejection of a roadmap endorsed by UN Security Council Resolution 2803, and stressed the need for Israeli withdrawal from Lebanon, support for Sudan's sovereignty, and freedom of navigation in the Strait of Hormuz and the Red Sea. They emphasized continued coordination on regional security and stability.
