Egypt's Foreign Minister Sameh Shokry will start on Sunday a five-day European tour, the first since he took office.
The tour will take him to Germany, France and Italy.
During the trip, Shokry will meet with senior officials in the three countries on Arab issues, especially Egypt's efforts to reach a permanent truce in the Gaza Strip.
The meetings will also tackle the latest developments in Iraq and Libya as well as cooperation with the three countries.
Efforts to combat terrorism will figure high in the top diplomat's talks in the three countries.
