In talks with UAE Vice-President Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum and Abu Dhabi Crown Prince Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Sisi added that relations between Egypt and the UAE represent an ideal model for constructive strategic cooperation between Arab countries, and praised the role of the UAE in promoting solidarity and joint-Arab action.
In the talks, bin Rashid and bin Zayed expressed deep pride in the close relations and brotherly ties between the two countries. Bin Rashid stressed that the UAE’s support for Egypt in its war against terrorism serves as the center of security and stability in the Arab world.
