Alamein Summit Establishes Permanent Consultation Mechanism for Egypt, Sudan, Eritrea and Somalia

Egypt, Sudan, Eritrea and Somalia have established a permanent four-way mechanism for consultation and coordination, according to the joint Alamein Declaration issued following their consultative summit.

The declaration sets out a continuing framework for engagement among the four countries, moving their consultations beyond the summit itself.

The arrangement brings all four states into a shared format for maintaining contact and coordinating their positions.

The brief announcement did not specify how the mechanism would operate, how often consultations would take place or which issues would be addressed.
