In the letter, Sisi lauded Jordan’s role in reaching political solutions for the crises witnessed in several Arab countries in a manner that maintains their unity and safeguards the accomplishments of their people.
The Egyptian president also commended the Kingdom’s role in hosting refugees, according to a Royal Court statement.
Sisi emphasised the distinguished ties between both nations and their mutual commitment to preserving the interests of the Arab and the Islamic world.
He also expressed appreciation for His Majesty’s support for Egypt under different circumstances, noting that this boosts the morale of the nation and its people.
