Egypt’s President Abdel Fattah El-Sisi highlighted on Friday the strength of ties with the United States.
During a meeting with US President Joe Biden
in Sharm El-Sheikh, President Sisi said Egyptian-US relations have been growing
from strength to strength over the past 40 years.
The president also underscored the importance of what he described as Egypt’s ‘strategic’ relations with the US.
President Sisi’s meeting with President Biden came only minutes after the plane of the US president touched down at Sharm El-Sheikh International Airport.
The US president is here to participate in the 27th United Nations Climate Change Conference, widely referred to as COP27.
President Biden addressed the conference about his country’s climate commitments, including financial ones. He also talked about the measures his country took in the past period to contribute to the mitigation of global warming.
He said his country would offer support to Egypt and other African countries to make the required green transition and mitigate the effects of climate change.
Egypt hopes the current edition of the conference, which is bringing together dozens of statesmen, government heads, business leaders and climate specialists and advocates, will turn into implementation stage.
The president noted that relations between Cairo and Washington are based on mutual understanding on all issues.
For his part, President Biden expressed hopes that his visit to Egypt would contribute to strengthening relations with the Arab country even more.
He thanked Egyptian authorities for mediation and efforts to stop the fighting in the Gaza Strip.
