Egyptian President
Abdel-Fattah El-Sisi received Saudi Arabia’s Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman
at Cairo International Airport on Monday night, presidential spokesman Bassam
Rady said in a statement.
El-Sisi and Bin Salman, who is on an official two-day visit to Egypt, will discuss bilateral relations and ways of enhancing them in various fields, as well as regional and international political issues of mutual concern, the statement said.
Sources told Reuters this week that
Bin Salman’s meeting with El-Sisi will discuss issues that include the regional
impact of the war in Ukraine as well as preparations for US President Joe
Biden's trip to Saudi Arabia next month.
Bin Salman’s visit to Egypt is his first leg of a three-nation regional tour that includes Jordan and Turkey.
Over the past years, Egypt and Saudi have shared warm relations in the various political, economic, security and investment fields and have maintained continuous coordination on regional issues of concern.
