On Thursday, 18 December, Rania Al-Mashat, Egypt’s Minister of Planning, Economic Development, and International Cooperation, and José Manuel Albares, Spain’s Minister of Foreign Affairs, European Union, and Cooperation of Spain signed the Partnership for Sustainable Development Program. Al-Mashat emphasized that this agreement signifies an equal partnership built on dialogue and joint action, which is meant to deepen the historic ties between Egypt and Spain. The partnership is designed to address significant global challenges (climate change, environmental sustainability, and gender equality), aligning with both the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals and Egypt’s Vision 2030. This agreement is the first of its kind for the Spanish Agency for International Development Cooperation (AECID) and outlines a framework for cooperation in inclusive growth, climate action, food security, and gender equality. A joint Egyptian-Spanish committee will oversee the implementation and monitoring of the partnership, ensuring progress on shared priorities.
