The Arab Republic of Egypt has reaffirmed its commitment to strengthening cooperation with Nigeria in promoting African-led solutions to the continent’s development and security challenges.
Egypt’s Ambassador to Nigeria, Mohammed Fouad, made the commitment on Thursday during a ceremony in Abuja marking the 74th anniversary of Egypt’s July 23, 1952 Revolution.
Fouad described the revolution as a turning point in Egypt’s modern history, saying it restored the country’s independence, dignity and national aspirations while continuing to shape its development agenda.
He said Egypt and Nigeria remained leading voices in African diplomacy, working together to advance continental unity, sovereignty, multilateral cooperation and reforms that reflect Africa’s interests.
According to the ambassador, both countries have consistently coordinated positions on key regional and global issues, including development finance, peacekeeping, climate justice and broader governance reforms.
