The Straits Times
|February 18, 2025
Senior Minister of State for Defence Zaqy Mohamad explored areas for further collaboration between Singapore and Egypt, particularly in medical assistance, to support the humanitarian efforts for Gaza, during a working trip to Cairo.
While in the Egyptian capital on Feb 15 and 16, he met the Egyptian Deputy Prime Minister for Human Development Affairs and Minister of Health and Population, Dr Khaled Abdelghaffar; and Egyptian Assistant Minister of Defence for Foreign Affairs, General Walaa Adel Bibers.
Mr Zaqy thanked Egypt for supporting Singapore's efforts to provide relief to Gaza.
These include the earlier deployment of a Republic of Singapore Air Force (RSAF) Airbus A330 Multi-Role Tanker Transport (MRTT) aircraft that delivered humanitarian aid to Gaza, and the deployment of a medical team aboard the French hospital ship FS Dixmude to treat casualties from Gaza at Egypt's El-Arish Port.
