The Egyptian President emphasized on his country standing alongside and fully supporting Bahrain in the fight against terrorism.
“The security of Persian Gulf countries, including that of Bahrain, is a red line for and an inseparable part of Egypt’s national security,” he said.
Al-Sisi met with senior Saudi officials and emphasized on his country’s bilateral relations with Riyadh.
In the meantime Saudi Foreign Minister Adel al-Jubeir in a joint press conference with his Egyptian counterpart Sameh Shokri emphasized and expressed hope on establishing a joint Arab military force. This force will be formed soon as agreed to in the Arab leaders’ conference, he added.
