In a letter to EU leaders ahead of a summit on Thursday and Friday, Commission President Ursula von der Leyen pledged greater support to the Middle Eastern country. The deal would mirror an economic agreement signed with Tunisia in July and mark a new step in the Commission’s strategy of funneling EU cash to northern African countries in a bid to support their economies and halt migration flows to Europe. “Our priority should also be to establish a strategic and mutually beneficial partnership with Egypt,” von der Leyen wrote in the letter, adding: “Egypt’s role is vital for the security and stability of the Middle East, it hosts a growing number of refugees, and we have a responsibility to support it.”In the letter, the Commission president also pledged to speed up migrant returns.
