CAIRO – 13 August 2018: President Abdel Fatah al-Sisi will receive Monday Yemen's President Abd-Rabbu Mansour Hadi at the Ittihadiya presidential palace, which will be followed by a press conference, according to presidential spokesperson Bassam Rady.

In the same context, Yemeni Foreign Minister Khaled al-Yamani said that Hadi will express his thanks to President Sisi for housing many Yemeni refugees amid the difficult circumstances Egypt faces.

He added that Hadi will discuss during his meeting with Sisi the situation in Yemen and its latest developments, confirming that Egypt supports Yemeni people and is interested in ending Houthis’ attacks against Saudi Arabia as well as combating Iran’s regional attempts.

Yamani arrived in Cairo, Egypt, on Sunday to participate in several meetings, which will be held between President Sisi and Hadi during his two-day visit, in addition to his meeting with the House of Representatives Speaker Ali Abdel Aal. Moreover, he will pay a visit to the Arab League, during which he will hold talks with Secretary General of the Arab League Ahmed Aboul Gheit.

It is the third time for Hadi to visit Egypt since he came to power in March 2015 as he visited Sharm El- Sheikh to participate in the Arab Summit’s events, and attended the Suez Canal inauguration in August 2015.
