This joint training is part of the Egyptian army’s broader plan to share expertise and enhance cooperation with the armed forces of friendly countries, Abdel-Hafez stated.
Since the beginning of the year, Egypt and the UK have conducted several joint military drills. These have included training on dealing with improvised explosive devices in late January, a counterterrorism drill in mid-February, and a naval-focused exercise earlier this month.
