Egypt and Somalia have announced a strategic partnership to bolster relations across political, military, economic, and cultural sectors. The collaboration includes plans for regular high-level consultations and the formation of a committee to oversee joint initiatives. Egypt will support Somalia’s counterterrorism efforts, border security, and military training under a 2024 military cooperation protocol.

Additionally, the agreement emphasizes education, with scholarships for Somali students and training in governance, healthcare, and agriculture.

On the economic front, both nations aim to expand trade and investment in agriculture, fisheries, renewable energy, and infrastructure, alongside fostering private-sector cooperation. Judicial reforms and constitutional development in Somalia will also receive Egyptian backing. 

This partnership could enhance regional stability and economic development but may also shift geopolitical dynamics in the Horn of Africa, particularly affecting relations with Ethiopia amid existing tensions.
