Behind every timely response, every problem solved, and every citizen assisted is a dedicated Consular Team. 🤝🇷🇴

📈The numbers speak for themselves: in 2026, Romania provided more than 500,000 consular services worldwide, and our Consular Team in Cairo 🇪🇬 has played its part in this achievement.

🛂 From visas and travel assistance to medical emergencies, evacuations, and support in times of crisis, our colleagues are fully committed to helping everyone who turns to our services — day in and day out.

The total number of consular services provided in Cairo has grown exponentially over the last three years, as the figures show:
- 2024: 6,953
- 2025: 11,028
- as of 31.07.2026: 9,218

While we take pride in what we have achieved, we remain committed to providing efficient and reliable consular services to every person who relies on us.

📈🤝Economic diplomacy is a top priority of our Embassy’s activity in Cairo, albeit not always the kind of work to be shared widely on our social media.

We are thrilled that Egypt has re-emerged as Romania’s second-largest export market in Africa and the Middle East, according to most recent 🇷🇴 statistics. From a wider geographical angle, including Asia, it ranks third among our country’s export destinations.

Today, we want to present to you some fresh figures on 🇷🇴 – 🇪🇬 trade for the period March – July 2026, compared to the same period in 2025:
• current trade value is USD 452.97m, marking an increase of nearly 21%;
• exports from RO increased by approximately 100%, reaching USD 277.15m;
• imports from Egypt total USD 175.82m.

Working every day to strengthen 🇷🇴-🇪🇬 trade relations – a priority of H.E. Ambassador Olivia Toderean’s mandate and of the Embassy's Commercial Office.

📈🤝Diplomația economică este permanent în topul priorităților Ambasadei noastre, desi, prin natura ei, nu poate fi întotdeauna o ştire pe rețelele de socializare.

Suntem bucuroşi să vedem Egiptul plasat din nou pe locul 2 între cele mai importante piațe de export ale României în Africa și Orientul Mijlociu. Dintr-o perspectivă geografică mai largă, incluzând și Asia, Egiptul ocupă locul al treilea între destinațiile de export ale țării noastre.

Astăzi dorim să vă prezentăm câteva statistici foarte recente privind comerțul dintre România și Egipt în perioada martie–iulie 2026, comparativ cu aceeași perioadă din 2025:
• valoarea totală a schimburilor comerciale este de 452,97 mil. USD, înregistrând o creștere de circa 21%;
• exporturile din România au crescut cu aproximativ 100%, atingând 277,15 mil. USD;
• importurile din Egipt totalizează 175,82 mil. USD.

Lucrăm zi de zi pentru consolidarea relațiilor comerciale 🇷🇴-🇪🇬 – o prioritate a mandatului E.S. Ambasador Olivia Toderean şi a Biroului de Promovare Comercială al Ambasadei.

Today, H.E. Ambassador Olivia Toderean paid a visit to Dawar Arts - an independent cultural organisation based in Cairo 🇪🇬, focused on arts-based psychosocial interventions and vocational training for both refugees and host communities.

At Dawar El Ezba Cultural Centre, the Ambassador had a delightful discussion with the Executive Director, Mr. Mahmoud El-Baaly, and met the ladies’ team that bring to life مطبخ دوار Dawar Kitchen.

We truly appreciate their warm hospitality that created a welcoming and engaging atmosphere, with discussions unfolding over a delicious homemade lunch freshly prepared in the Dawar Kitchen.

👉Actually, everyone can order meals and catering services for events, which help support the organisation’s important community work.

Another interesting fact is that Dawar Cultural Centre in Ezbet Khairallah is a beautiful example of socially engaged design, built with locally resourced materials and recognized with several architecture awards.

With their potential and the organisation's noble mission in mind, we envision future projects 🤝 that will create even greater value and make a lasting, positive impact on people's lives.

🔜 Exciting literary deliverables on their way – stay tuned!

Building on the momentum created by 🇷🇴 participation as Guest of Honour of the Cairo International Book Fair 2026, H.E. Ambassador Olivia Toderean had a productive meeting with Mr. Mohamed El-Baaly, general manager of Sefsafa Publishing House, who was accompanied by Ms. Hend Magdy.

📚 Together, we are working on some very special literary projects that will come to light in the near future.

Expanding the cultural ties between 🇷🇴 and 🇪🇬, and connecting the best literary voices of both cultures remain key priorities for our Embassy.
