Egyptian Minister of Foreign Affairs and Emigration, Badr Abdelatty, chaired a coordination meeting with the participation of relevant sectors within the Ministry as part of Egypt's preparations to host the second ministerial meeting of the Khartoum Process due on April 9, 2025.

The meeting included the ministers concerned with migration from the member states of the Khartoum Process.

During the meeting, the latest substantive, procedural, and logistical preparations for the ministerial meeting to be held in Cairo were reviewed.

The Khartoum Process is a platform for political cooperation for the countries along the migration route between the Horn of Africa and Europe. It was established on 28 November 2014, at a Ministerial Conference held in Rome. It aims to fight the trafficking in human beings and the smuggling of migrants. It is also known as “the EU-Horn of Africa Migration Route Initiative.”

Its membership includes 40 countries, including the European Union countries, in addition to Switzerland, Norway, the Horn of Africa and East Africa countries, the European Union Commission, the African Union Commission, and several international organizations partnering with the process.

The Egyptian presidency of the Khartoum Process has organized a number of activities and workshops since April 2024, addressing topics related to migration, development, and combating human trafficking and migrant smuggling.
