According to KhabarOnline, According to diplomatic sources, the decision to exchange ambassadors between Tehran and Cairo has already been made, with strong political will evident on both sides. The breakthrough follows months of sustained dialogue and coordination, structured around a three-phase roadmap that has gradually moved into the implementation stage.
Officials note that bilateral relations have gained unprecedented momentum in recent years. More than 15 meetings at the level of foreign ministers have been held, alongside high-level engagements involving officials responsible for health, tourism, energy, and judicial affairs. These interactions paved the way for overcoming long-standing obstacles. Within this framework, a joint political consultation committee was established and has so far convened two formal sessions.
The agreed roadmap rests on three core pillars: first, the removal of historical impediments to bilateral relations—now described by both sides as fully resolved; second, mutual confidence-building across political, economic, security, and tourism sectors; and third, the expansion of economic cooperation, with a focus on investment, bilateral trade, and tourism exchanges.
On the economic front, Iranian officials have pointed to a history of Iranian investments in Egypt, particularly in the energy sector, automotive manufacturing, and the textile industry. Reviving these projects is currently under review by joint committees. In the energy domain, Tehran has also signaled its readiness to meet Egypt’s oil needs should Cairo submit an official request.
At the same time, political and regional coordination between the two countries has intensified. Regular—almost weekly—contacts between the two foreign ministers suggest a growing convergence of views on a substantial portion of regional issues. Abbas Araghchi has previously underlined that the scope of Iran–Egypt relations is broader than Egypt’s ties with many of its neighboring states.
International observers believe that the full restoration of diplomatic relations between Iran and Egypt could have implications extending beyond bilateral ties, potentially influencing the broader political and security balance in the region. Attention is now focused on the official announcement—an event widely expected to mark the beginning of a new chapter in relations between two influential powers of the Islamic world.
