A new memorandum, like the one with Tunisia, to control illegal migration.
And bilateral relations with Europe that become "strategic", not only to reduce landings at the southern border of the EU but also to guarantee alternative energy to Russian supplies for the future.
Giorgia Meloni and Ursula von der Leyen side by side again - while Matteo Salvini's attacks on the "disastrous" management of the president of the EU commission continue - will be in Cairo to strengthen Italian and European bilateral relations with Abdel Fattah al-Sisi, in a moment in which Egypt also plays a fundamental role in the conflict in the Middle East.
As well as as a geopolitical stabilizer of the Mediterranean area, starting from Libya.
This time the two leaders will arrive together with a series of European heads of state and government who are among the most sensitive, together with Italy, to the migrant emergency.
In addition to the current president, the Belgian Alexander De Croo, the Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis, the Cypriot President Nicos Christodoulidis and the Austrian Chancellor Karl Nehammer will also be in the Egyptian capital.
A sign that Meloni's insistence on shifting attention to the "external dimension" of migratory phenomena has now made inroads among the European partners, as observed in recent days also by Politico.eu.
The European delegation brings al-Sisi the promise of another 7.4 billion in loans and grants following the release of the loan by the International Monetary Fund (unlike Tunisia) necessary to avoid causing the North African country's economy to collapse, increasingly central given the developments between Ukraine and the Middle East.
A choice that, however, suffers from protests in the European Parliament by socialists, greens, liberals and even part of the EPP, according to whom Brussels cannot provide funds to a country where democracy and human rights are not guaranteed.
An approach, that of funds in exchange for a stop to departures, which "in recent years has only trampled on fundamental rights and has not produced a solution of European solidarity", attacks the secretary of the Democratic Party Elly Schlein, defining as "very serious" the fact that Meloni and von der Leyen will be in Egypt for this purpose.
The trip also falls on the eve of the start of the trial against the four Egyptian 007s accused of having kidnapped, tortured and killed Giulio Regeni in 2016.
In fact, scheduled for the Egyptian Sunday marked by Ramadan are both a European segment, in which EU-Egypt relations will be elevated to a "strategic partnership", and a bilateral one between Rome and Cairo, to begin to put into practice the good intentions of the Mattei Plan.
The agreements that will be signed between Italy and Egypt - where numerous Italian companies operate, starting with Eni and where the new embassy, Cdp, Sace, Simest and ICE offices will be inaugurated in the morning - affect all six pillars of the Plan: education/ training, healthcare, water and hygiene, agriculture, energy, infrastructure.
