Within the framework of the partnership between Egypt and the United Kingdom, Dr. Samar El-Ahdal, Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs, International Cooperation, and Egyptians Abroad, met with Dr. Rachel Kyte, the UK's Special Representative for Climate Action, to discuss ways to enhance joint cooperation in climate action.

The meeting addressed a number of topics of mutual interest, including the aspiration to strengthen joint cooperation between the UK and Egypt in the fields of clean and green energy, and the importance of supporting efforts to transition towards a low-emission economy, in line with sustainable development priorities.

In this context, Dr. Samar Al-Ahdal reviewed the Ministry of Foreign Affairs' efforts to mobilize concessional development financing to support green transformation projects through partnerships with international financing institutions, including the Global Environment Facility (GEF), which contributes to financing environmental projects in the areas of climate change mitigation and adaptation, and natural resource conservation.
