Italian senator says Egypt is defense line against terrorism

CAIRO - 13 June 2020: Italian Senator Maurizio Gasparri, the member of the Senate Defense Committee, described Egypt as a defense line against terror attacks.

Egyptian people and President Abdel Fattah El Sisi are confronting radical terrorism by sacrificing lives as an expensive price, Italian news agency Aki quoted the senator as saying.

Maintaining the supply of warships and other military equipment to Cairo by Italy and all Western countries eventually serves the interests of these countries , the senator added.
