CAIRO - 23 June 2026: Egypt, Jordan, and Iraq must rapidly translate their shared political alignment into tangible infrastructure and trade projects to accelerate regional integration, Egyptian Foreign Minister Badr Abdelatty urged in a Monday trilateral summit.
Abdelatty convened with Jordanian Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs Ayman Safadi and Iraqi Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs Fuad Hussein on the sidelines of the 165th resumed ordinary session of the Arab League Ministerial Council in Amman, Jordan.
During the summit, the ministers reviewed the framework of the Egypt-Jordan-Iraq Trilateral Cooperation Mechanism, highlighting it as an essential pillar for regional economic integration.
Abdelatty emphasized that the mechanism offers unparalleled opportunities to leverage the combined resources, geographic advantages, and industrial capabilities of the three nations to serve their mutual strategic interests.
He stressed the urgent necessity of moving beyond diplomatic rhetoric to execute practical joint ventures across critical sectors, specifically targeting commerce, manufacturing, energy networks, electrical grid interconnection, agriculture, and transport logistics.
To ensure operational progress, the Egyptian foreign minister called for the immediate implementation of resolutions passed by the mechanism’s specialized technical subcommittees. He noted that executing these decisions is vital to unlocking expansive partnership horizons and reinforcing long-term sustainable development across the three states.
Concluding the session, Abdelatty reaffirmed Egypt's absolute commitment to anchoring the trilateral mechanism and guaranteeing the strict regularity of its ministerial summits.
He underscored that sustaining this institutional momentum remains vital to maximizing joint Arab action and shielding the region against shared economic and security challenges.
