Egypt cares about security of Arab Gulf countries: President Sisi

CAIRO - 22 February 2022: In his meeting with Emir of Kuwait, Sheikh Nawaf al-Ahmed al-Jaber al-Sabah, Tuesday, President Abdel Fatah al-Sisi stressed Egypt’s care about the security and stability of Arab Gulf countries in the face of internal and external challenges, as they are integral to Egypt’s national security.

The president equally valued - during the meeting held in Kuwait - the current level of coordination between both states, and the resemblance in their views on issues of mutual interest, given they both aim for repelling various challenges facing the Arab nation at the current period.

In turn, the Emir of Kuwait valued the prominent role played by Egypt to consolidate joint Arab work in the face of contemporary crises, which is crucial to maintain socio-economic developmental endeavors.

The president and the Emir conferred over a number of Arab and regional issues of mutual concern as well as efforts deployed to combat terrorism and extremism, and promote tolerance and moderation on a regional scale.

In another context, Sheikh Nawaf pledged to expand economic cooperation with Egypt, particularly on the front of boosting Kuwaiti investments in the country.
