For his part, the Egyptian Foreign Minister said that this visit came as an opportunity to activate what was agreed upon during the second session within intensive, continuing and consultative framework between the Foreign Ministers of the two countries to be briefed on the latest developments at regional and international levels, particularly the wave of many challenges that we confront and we work together to fend off the dangers concerning our countries, the region and Arab security. Minister Shukri added, ''We see in this relationship as a strategic one of fraternity and common destiny and we are working to strengthen this relationship at political, economic, and cultural levels; and the works being carried out by the Coordinating Committee and its consequent results are the best evidence of the determination of the two countries to achieve this common interest''. --More 11:56 LOCAL TIME 08:56 GMT www.spa.gov.sa/w
