Egypt’s Ambassador to Saint Lucia.

Saint Lucia and the Arab Republic of Egypt established diplomatic relations 12 years ago.

Earlier this week, I had the opportunity to meet His Excellency Maher El-Adawy who is Egypt’s Ambassador to Saint Lucia.

Given that relations between our two countries have been relatively dormant, I was happy to discuss with Ambassador El-Adawy areas where Saint Lucia and Egypt could improve and deepen cooperation, particularly in the areas of agriculture, tourism and cultural preservation.

I was particularly impressed with the ambassador’s appreciation and concern for the threats which small island developing states like ours face from climate change and his desire to see that more international assistance is given to help with both mitigation and adaptation.

I look forward to the opportunities that the Government and people of Saint Lucia can benefit from by working together with our Egyptian colleagues to further develop and strengthen our country.

Wishing His Excellency and his wife the very best.
