Kuwait and Egypt signed three memorandums of understanding and five implementation programs on Sunday during the 14th session of their joint committee in Kuwait City.

Kuwaiti Foreign Minister Sheikh Jarrah Jaber Al-Ahmad Al-Sabah and his Egyptian counterpart Badr Abdelatty co-chaired the meeting, which brought together senior officials from both countries, Kuwait’s Foreign Ministry said in a statement.

The delegations discussed ways to strengthen bilateral ties and coordinate their response to regional challenges. They also reviewed recent international developments.

The memorandums cover cooperation between the two countries’ civil aviation authorities, cooperation on economic and free zones, and participation in international exhibitions and trade fairs.

The implementation programs cover vocational training in 2027 and 2028, as well as education, culture and arts under separate programs running from 2027 to 2029.

The two remaining programs provide for implementing an agreement on mutual assistance and cooperation in customs matters and expanding cooperation on standards and metrology, including mutual recognition of conformity assessment certificates and procedures.
