NATO and Egypt conclude
Individual Cooperation Programme
Today NATO and Egypt finalised the Individual Cooperation
Programme (ICP) under the enhanced Mediterranean Dialogue.
At their Istanbul Summit, NATO's Heads of State and Government
decided to offer Mediterranean Dialogue partner countries the possibility to
agree, with NATO, Individual Cooperation
Programmes.
The ICP between NATO and
Egypt aims at promoting political and military
ties with the Euro-Atlantic and the Mediterranean regions along with security
cooperation with NATO and MD partners, in order to enhance Mediterranean
regional security and stability.
During the NATO-Egypt meeting before
the Mediterranean Cooperation Group this morning, Ambassador Martin Erdmann said
that “the Individual Cooperation Programme will help frame NATO’s cooperation
with Egypt in a more perspective and strategic way than is currently done
throught the annual Mediterranean Dialogue Work Programme”. The Ambassador of
Egypt Dr. Mahamoud Karem stated: “The Egyptian Individual
Cooperation Programme has a future goal which aims at achieving and
strengthening cooperation between Egypt and NATO in several important areas,
Egypt believes that it has managed to develop an excellent ICP, which reflects
precisely its priorities and I look forward to the implementation of the
Individual Cooperation Programme in the near
future”.
