Sisi inaugurates Saudi “Aa’tidal” center to combat extremism

CAIRO-17 May 2017: Egyptian President Abdel Fatah al-Sisi participated in the inauguration of the “Aa’tidal” (moderation) center to monitor and combat extremism, along with American President Donald Trump and Saudi King Salman bin Abdul Aziz in Riyadh.

The three heads of state and a number of regional leaders visited the new Global Center for Combating Extremist Ideology on Sunday after the conclusion of the Arab-Islamic-American summit.

The three leaders placed their hands on a miniature globe that officially marked the opening of the center and launched an extravagant welcome video.

Around 55 leaders and representatives from across the Islamic world are being hosted in Riyadh, where three summits are taking place, including the Arab-Islamic-American summit.

The two-day international summit kicked off Saturday in Riyadh under the slogan “Together We Prevail.” It aims to “renew mutual commitment to global security and further strengthen already deep business, cultural and political ties,” according to the Riyadh summit’s official website.
