Leaders from Greece, Cyprus, and Egypt concluded an informal tripartite summit in El Alamein, Egypt, signing a joint declaration to strengthen regional stability and cooperation. The summit focused on energy security, specifically the development of electrical interconnections between Egypt and Greece and plans to transport Cypriot natural gas through Egyptian infrastructure to European markets.

The leaders addressed several critical geopolitical issues, including the conflict in Gaza, where they reaffirmed support for a two-state solution and the need for humanitarian aid. They also discussed the situation in Lebanon, Libya, and the Cyprus issue, emphasizing the importance of territorial integrity and a UN-led comprehensive solution for Cyprus.

Furthermore, the declaration highlighted a commitment to international law, specifically the UN Convention on the Law of the Sea, regarding maritime jurisdictions. The tripartite mechanism, established in 2014, was praised as a model for regional cooperation in the Eastern Mediterranean, aimed at fostering economic, commercial, and investment ties while addressing challenges like migration and maritime security.
