Egypt’s President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi held a telephone conversation on Saturday with Jordan’s King Abdullah II. According to presidential spokesman Bassam Rady, they agreed to deepen cooperation in different fields and coordinate on regional and international issues. They also exchanged views and insights on regional and international issues of common interest. Sisi underscored the importance of exerting further efforts to expand and strengthen areas of bilateral cooperation to maximize the common interests of the two countries and their peoples. King Abdullah, for his part, commended the fraternal bilateral ties and the ongoing coordination with Sisi and said he looked forward to further for further cooperation. In early December, the two leaders voiced support to the Palestinians in a joint press statement following their meeting in Cairo. Their meeting focused on the latest developments in the region, notably in the Palestinian territories. The leaders agreed on the need to boost their countries’ efforts to provide full support to the Palestinian people and to revive the peace process to reach a solution to the Palestinian-Israeli conflict.
