Belarusian Ambassador to Egypt, Sergey Terentiev, has underlined the strength of political dialogue between Minsk and Cairo, which he described as the foundation of bilateral relations. This is reported by
Sada El-Balad, a partner of TV BRICS.

Terentiev said that recent meetings, including those between the Igor Sergeyenko, Chairman of the House of Representatives of the National Assembly of Belarus and Egyptian officials during his visit to Cairo in May, have opened new avenues for strengthening ties. He described Egypt as a promising economic partner and a gateway to Africa for Belarusian companies.

He emphasised country’s readiness to share technology to support Egypt’s needs, including in agricultural digitalisation, medical equipment supply and joint research. Belarus is also keen to provide modern, high-tech medical services to Egyptian citizens through advanced facilities and skilled healthcare professionals, alongside joint medical production projects.

On education, Terentiev welcomed Egyptian medical students to pursue advanced training at Belarusian universities, which he said would enhance educational exchange and support the development of future medical professionals for both countries.

The ambassador highlighted the strategic partnership’s potential to open new markets for Egyptian businesses in Belarus and the Eurasian Economic Union. He underlined Belarus’s interest in working with Egypt to boost pharmaceutical manufacturing and ensure high-quality medicines for both peoples.

In agriculture, he said both sides are exploring ways to enhance productivity, sustainability and water management through joint research, technology transfer and initiatives addressing climate change, water scarcity and food security.

Regarding tourism, Terentiev noted that Egypt remains a popular and trusted destination for Belarusian tourists. Around 100,000 Belarusians visit Egypt each year, with direct flights to Sharm El-Sheikh, Hurghada and Alamein helping to sustain these numbers.
