Shoukry attends climate talks in Sweden

Shoukry in Stockholm for climate talks: Foreign Minister and COP27 President Sameh Shoukry was in Sweden yesterday for the annual climate ministerial, co-hosted by Canada, the EU and China and attended by officials from 37 countries. The delegates discussed key issues ahead of this year’s COP27 summit in Sharm El Sheikh, including climate adaptation, finance and meeting the targets agreed at last year’s COP in Glasgow.

Shoukry met with his Swedish counterpart Ann Linde on the sidelines of the meeting, and discussed increasing Swedish investment in the Egyptian economy, the Foreign Ministry said in a statement.

US Secretary of State Antony Blinken commended Egypt’s decision to approve direct flights between Yemen’s Sanaa and Cairo during his phone call with Foreign Minister Sameh Shoukry earlier this week, according to a US embassy statement.
