During his visit, FM Abdelatty will hold high-level meetings with his German counterpart, Johann Wadephul, as well as senior officials, parliamentarians, representatives of research centres, and other key policymakers.
He is also scheduled to take part in a business forum with the heads of major German companies, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs said.
The forum will discuss practical ways to deepen economic, trade, and investment cooperation between the two countries.
Abdelatty’s visit comes less than two weeks after the completion of high-level economic negotiations that secured significant German funding, marking a new phase in the strategic partnership between Cairo and Berlin.
The negotiations concluded with the signing of a major financial cooperation package worth 294.5 million euros (about EGP 16 billion) for the next development phase.
The funding includes 171.5 million euros in soft financing, debt swaps, and grants for immediate implementation.
These allocations target renewable energy projects under the Nexus of Water, Food, and Energy (NWFE) programme, solid waste management, and improving the investment climate.
A key element of the debt swap, an initial tranche of 50 million euros, was signed to finance the connection of major wind farms, including ACWA Power 1 and 2, to the national grid, directly supporting the NWFE initiative.
An additional 123 million euros has been allocated under a new Protocol of Negotiations (2025–2028), earmarked for 10 priority sectors, including industrial localisation, innovation, and scientific research.
Germany remains one of Egypt’s long-standing development partners, with decades of cooperation backing the country’s sustainable development agenda and its Vision 2030 goals, according to a report released by the Ministry of Planning, Economic Development, and International Cooperation in November.
Current joint projects, the report noted, rely on a mix of financing tools, including debt swaps, concessional loans, direct contributions, and technical assistance grants.
Cooperation covers renewable energy, climate adaptation, water and sanitation, irrigation, migration, solid waste management, and private sector development.
Bilateral trade reached around 6 billion euros, according to the Egyptian news agency MENA. German investments in Egypt amounted to about $3 billion by early 2025, with more than 1,700 German companies operating in the country, according to media reports.
Alongside economic cooperation, Egypt and Germany maintain close coordination on regional crises, including Gaza, Sudan, Libya, and Syria, where both sides seek to prevent escalation and support political solutions.
On 10 October, the German chancellor announced that Germany plans to co-host with Egypt an international conference on rebuilding the Gaza Strip.
