| 2020-07-21 |
| [Al Ahram] Egypt's President Abdel-Fattah El-Sisi reiterated Egypt's support of the legitimate government in Yemen ...an area of the Arabian Peninsula sometimes mistaken for a country. It is populated by more antagonistic tribes and factions than you can keep track of... as well as its unity, illusory sovereignty and the safety of its national institutions, said a presidential statement. The statement was released following a meeting El-Sisi held with Yemeni Prime Minister Maeen Abdul-Malik in Cairo on Monday. El-Sisi emphasised the importance of Yemen's security and stability to Egypt's national security, a matter that necessitates pushing ahead with efforts aiming to reach a political solution to the crisis in Yemen. The solution has to ensure the unity and integrity of Yemen’s territories and meet the aspirations of the Yemeni people in accordance with the international and UN legitimacy decisions, the Gulf initiative and the outcomes of the national dialogue, he added. Abdul-Malik delivered a written message to El-Sisi from Yemeni President Abd Rabbo Mansour Hadi in which he heaped praise on Egypt's stances that support security and stability in Yemen. The Yemeni president also noted that his country is looking forward to intensifying joint cooperation with Egypt at various levels during the coming period. |
