The Egyptian Ambassador to the Czech Republic, Mahmoud Afifi, engaged in discussions with Vaclav Bartuska, the country’s Special Envoy for Energy Security, exploring collaboration in new and renewable energy ventures, with a specific focus on green hydrogen projects.

Ambassador Afifi highlighted Egypt’s recent advancements in energy infrastructure and its aspirations to attract foreign investments in the green hydrogen sector, leveraging the strategic location of the Suez Canal Economic Zone for exports to Europe.

Earlier discussions with Czech officials in August emphasized the potential for Czechia to contribute to the development of Egyptian-European relations in trade, investment, energy, and developmental cooperation. The talks underscored the existing EU-Egyptian Association Agreement and opportunities for collaboration.

The Czech deputy foreign minister expressed support for enhancing relations, particularly in economic and developmental aspects, addressing food security and energy security concerns.
