CAIRO, June 7 (MENA) – Minister of Foreign Affairs, Emigration and Expatriates Badr Abdelatty received a phone call from his Cypriot counterpart Constantinos Kombos on Saturday.

The call is part of periodic communication between both sides to discuss ways to cement bilateral ties and review visions on regional developments.

Abdelatty praised the historical bonds between Egypt and Cyprus, voicing keenness to boost relations in different domains, particularly economic, investment and trade ones.

He lauded Cyprus’s backing for Egypt at European Union-affiliated bodies, particularly on the EU-offered financial support package for Egypt.

Both ministers reviewed visions on a number of international and regional issues of mutual interest and agreed on maintaining coordination to defuse regional tension and support security and stability in the region.

Abdelatty also highlighted Egypt’s efforts on ceasing fire in the Gaza Strip and guaranteeing the delivery of humanitarian aid into the war-ravaged Palestinian enclave. (MENA)
