Egypt, Saudi Leaders Seek to Strengthen Bilateral Ties


(MENAFN) Egyptian President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi and Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman are set to hold talks in Cairo on Tuesday, with bilateral cooperation expected to be a central topic, according to reports.

The meeting takes place during the Saudi crown prince’s visit to Egypt, which is announced by the Egyptian presidency without providing details on how long the trip will last.

The visit includes “a bilateral meeting between the two leaders, followed by an expanded session of talks between delegations from the two countries," according to the presidency.

The discussions are also expected to cover "regional and international developments of mutual interest,” with both sides addressing issues affecting their shared interests.

The visit comes as security concerns increase around the Red Sea and Bab al-Mandab, where Houthi attacks have targeted Saudi Arabia. Egypt has also raised concerns over threats to the freedom and safety of navigation along major international waterways.
