Sisi to visit Kuwait Tuesday: Kuwait's al-Rai paper

CAIRO – 30 April 2017: President Abdel Fatah al-Sisi will start an official visit to Kuwait Tuesday as part of a Gulf tour including several other countries, Kuwaiti newspaper al-Rai reported Sunday, quoting an unnamed diplomatic source.

Sisi's talks with Kuwaiti officials will touch on means of promoting bilateral cooperation in addition to regional and international issues of mutual concern, the source added.

The diplomatic source noted that Sisi's anticipated tour will be complementary to his consultations held on the sidelines of the Arab Summit in late March as well as his recent visit to Saudi Arabia.

President Sisi visited Riyadh last week, where he held an Egyptian-Saudi summit with Saudi King Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud.

The two leaders discussed ways to boost Cairo-Riyadh strategic ties and promote consultations on various regional and international issues of common interest, topped by combating terrorism.
