Egypt’s President Abdel
Fattah El Sisi arrived in Algeria on Tuesday to participate in the 31st Arab
Summit. He was received
at the airport by Algerian President Abdel Madjid Tebboune.
The participation of President Sisi in the Arab Summit comes as part of Egypt’s keenness to strengthen the bonds of co-operation and brotherly relations with all Arab countries and in continuation of Egypt’s pivotal role in boosting efforts to advance joint action for the benefit of all Arab peoples, Presidency Spokesman Ambassador Bassam Radi said.
The Algiers summit will focus on enhancing consultation and coordination between the Arab countries regarding efforts to maintain security and stability in the region and bolster Arab interests, especially in light of the existing challenges at international and regional levels, due to the consequences of the coronavirus pandemic and the Ukrainian crisis.
The president is scheduled to hold a number of bilateral meetings with his fellow Arab leaders in order to discuss ways to enhance joint bilateral relation and exchange views on the latest developments on the regional and international arenas.
The summit is the first in two years, and will cover the Palestinian Cause, Arab-European and Arab-African relations, economic affairs, investment, and intra-Arab trade exchange.
The summit has been portrayed as a mark of Algeria’s return to frontline after its absence from Arab affairs for several years following the 2019 mass protests that led to the ousting of President Abdel Aziz Bouteflika.
