Egyptian President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi welcomed Jordan’s King Abdullah II, Bahrain’s King Hamad bin Isa and Iraq’s Prime Minister Mustafa al-Kadhimi at al-Alamein International Airport on Monday, in the presence of UAE President Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan.
Presidential spokesman Bassam Rady said Sisi welcomed the visit of the distinguished guests in a “special fraternal meeting.”
He expressed the "appreciation of Egypt’s people and leadership for the firm and historical ties they share with their brothers in the Arab countries," Rady added.
The leaders exchanged views on bolstering various aspects of bilateral ties and leveraging all areas available to enhance cooperation.
On Sunday, Sisi and his UAE counterpart held a summit in New Alamein to discuss bilateral cooperation as well as a host of regional and international issues.
The two leaders also agreed during the summit on the importance of bolstering Arab joint efforts to confront common challenges facing the Arab World.
They called for "coordinated efforts to find long-term solutions to regional crises to bring about security, stability, and peace for the region and its peoples," Rady concluded.
