In 2006, the Protestant churches in the Middle East joined together in a church communion with the Amman Declaration. As in the Leuenberg Agreement of 1973, they recognise the sacraments, ministries and ordinations of the participating churches and commit themselves to pulpit and communion fellowship and to their common witness and service.
This makes the Fellowship of the Middle East Evangelical Churches (FMEEC) the sister church fellowship of the CPCE in the Middle East.
The CPCE General Assembly 2018 in Basel gave the mandate to intensify the relationship with the FMEEC.
This relationship consists on the one hand in including delegates of the FMEEC in certain CPCE work areas and consultations (often, however, hindered or prevented by denied visas), and on the other hand in supporting social projects in cooperation with the Gustav-Adolf-Werk Leipzig (see for example Church aid projects | Communion of Protestant Churches in Europe CPCE (leuenberg.eu)).
In July 2021, a social media action of the Protestant Church of Hanover took place. You can find the link to the joint online worship service from Hanover and Beirut “Hope for Lebanon” (with German and Arabic subtitles) here.

In September 2022 the President of the FMEEC Rev. Dr Andrea Zaki, the Vice-President Rev. Dr Habib Badr and the General Secretary Rosangela Jarjour took part in a CPCE Council meeting for the first time. Together they discussed current challenges of the churches. The CPCE Council and FMEEC agreed to intensify their cooperation and to record it in a written agreement. The CPCE Council committed itself to making the concerns of the Protestant churches in the Middle East better known in Europe.
