Relations between Egypt and France date back to Napoleon
Bonaparte's Expedition in 1789 which left its imprints on all aspects
of Egyptian life. As time went on and with the ascension to power of
Mohammad Ali The Great in 1805, ties of friendship deepened between the
two countries. Egyptian missions were sent to France to specialize in
modern sciences and fine arts. Since he assumed power, President Hosni Mubarak visited
France roughly about 41 times. His relations with former French
President François Mitterrand and with incumbent President Jacques
Chirac have been most friendly.
Bilateral relations are marked by the substantial
convergence of political views, the deep anchoring in Egypt of French
cultural presence, which has grown and been enhanced (opening of the
French University in Egypt in 2002), and significant economic ties.

Several agreements have been signed with the purpose of
encouraging and protecting investments, promoting tourism, and
preventing double taxation. Other protocols on cooperation in the field
of the peaceful use of nuclear energy and electricity grids have also
been concluded.
In terms of trade, France lags far behind the United
States, after Germany, but neck and neck with Italy and ahead of the
United Kingdom. France's share of Egypt’s imports is around 5%. Its
companies enjoy considerable potential for progress.
It is among the top five foreign investors in Egypt, behind Great Britain, the United States, Saudi Arabia and Kuwait.
