Since 2011 Switzerland has supported political, economic and social developments in the region as part of its cooperation with Egypt. Furthermore, Swiss activities in the field of migration are also coordinated via the North Africa Strategy. The situation in North Africa and the Middle East will be a key item on Mr Cassis's agenda in Cairo. Ongoing cooperation with Egypt in the three areas mentioned above will be continued and, where possible, expanded. During his visit, Mr Cassis will also discuss potential migration-related projects.
