Sisi to meet with Kuwaiti National Assembly’s speaker

CAIRO - 17 January 2018: President Abdel Fatah al-Sisi will welcome Wednesday Speaker of the Kuwaiti National Assembly Marzouq al-Ghanim at Al-Ittihadiya Presidential Palace.

During the meeting, Sisi and Ghanim will address ways to promote the bilateral relations between the two countries, the common regional and international issues, and ways to combat extremism.

Promoting the joint Arab action and peace and stability in the Middle East will be also on their agenda.

Egypt and Kuwait have good relations at many levels; in January 2017, Egypt and Kuwait signed in Cairo a legal and judicial cooperation agreement on civil, commercial, criminal and personal status issues, as well as on the transfer of sentenced persons.

Kuwait has been backing the Egyptian state at all levels since the ouster of former President Mohamed Morsi in 2013. It took part at the ُEgypt Economic Development Conference (EEDC) held in Sharm El Sheikh in March 2015, which aimed at boosting Egyptian economy.
