Egypt’s Foreign Minister Sameh Shoukry met on Wednesday in Washington with US Secretary of State Antony Blinken, where they discuss regional and strategic relations between the two countries.
In a statement, the Egyptian Foreign Ministry said Shoukry’s meeting with Blinken witnessed discussing regional and international issues of mutual concern.
The meeting also affirmed the importance of continued political consultation and coordination on issues of common concern, the ministry added.
Shoukry’s visit to the US comes “within the framework of intensifying communication and coordination between the two friendly countries,” the ministry said.
This is in addition to “continuing to strengthen all frameworks of distinguished strategic relations between them and exchanging visions on the most prominent regional and international issues of common concern,” the ministry added.
Shoukry held two other meetings Tuesday, including one with Ambassador David Thorne, senior advisor to the US Special Presidential Envoy for Climate while the other was a roundtable at the Middle East Institute in Washington.
The talk covered Egypt’s strategic ties with the US, Egypt's perception of regional issues and challenges, and Egypt's role on the regional and international levels.
