CAIRO, March 3 (MENA) - Minister of Foreign Affairs, Emigration, and Egyptian Expatriates Badr Abdelatty praised the strong and fraternal ties between Egypt and Bahrain, highlighting Bahrain’s pivotal role as the current president of the Arab League Council.

Meeting Monday with his Bahraini counterpart Abdullatif bin Rashid Al Zayani, Abdelatty emphasized the importance of continued coordination and joint efforts to enhance the distinguished cooperation between the two nations and expand it across various fields, particularly in regional affairs.

Both ministers reviewed the latest developments in Gaza and ongoing coordination between Egypt and Bahrain in preparation for the upcoming Arab Summit in Cairo on Tuesday.

They stressed the need to maintain the ceasefire agreement in Gaza, ensure the implementation of all its phases, and support early recovery and reconstruction efforts without displacing Palestinians.

Additionally, they underscored the importance of achieving a permanent and just political settlement to the Palestinian problem through a two-state solution and establishing an independent Palestinian state along the June 4, 1967, borders with East Jerusalem as its capital. (MENA)
