On July 25<\/b>th<\/b>, the Egyptian and French Navies held naval drills in the eastern Mediterranean, with the participation of the Egyptian Ghost frigate and French Ghost frigate (ACONIT).<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

In a statement, the Egyptian Armed Forces reported the following:<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThe exercises included many training activities that focus on methods of organizing cooperation in the implementation of combat missions in the sea against hostile marine formations with the actual use of weapons in engagement with surface and air targets in addition to the implementation of confrontational battles, with the use of aircraft.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

The statement further said:<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThe training showed the professionalism of the crews of ships in carrying out combat missions with accuracy and high efficiency, with a focus on common coordination points between all the common elements.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

It added that \u201cthese drills come in the framework of supporting the pillars of joint cooperation between the Egyptian and French armed forces, and identifying the latest fighting systems and methods in a manner that contributes to honing skills and combat and operational experiences and supporting efforts of maritime security, stability and peace in the Mediterranean.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

This is a show of force at a time when Egypt and France, alongside Greece and Cyprus are opposed to Turkey over its interference in Libya, but mostly due to the agreement it signed with Libya\u2019s Government of National Accord.<\/span><\/p>\n

The agreement allows Turkey to extract resources from Libya\u2019s EEZ in the Mediterranean Sea.<\/span><\/p>\n

In the face of the actions of Turkey, France and Egypt had a recent rethinking of their relations, which have apparently grown closer in the face of a \u201ccommon enemy.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n
