Egypt and Kuwait agreed on Tuesday on the need to work together to bolster bilateral cooperation between their countries and support collective Arab work.

Emir of Kuwait Sheikh Mishal al-Ahmad al-Jaber Al-Sabah arrived in Egypt on Tuesday on his first official visit to the country since ascending the throne in December.

He was received at the airport by President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi. They later held bilateral talks at the presidential palace in Cairo. Expanded talks between delegations from both countries then followed.

The meetings tackled bilateral relations between Egypt and Kuwait, stressing their determination to boost trade and investment ties.

Sisi and Sheikh Mishal underscored the need to reach an immediate lasting ceasefire in Gaza. They stressed the need to deliver aid to the Palestinian people.

They expressed their rejection of Israel’s ongoing military operations in Gaza, warning against their expansion into Rafah. Such a step will lead to dire humanitarian consequences, they added.

They warned of the danger of Israel’s practices that may lead to the spillover of the conflict, which would threaten regional and international security and stability.

They urged the international community to work towards resolving the Palestinian-Israeli conflict through the implementation of the two-state solution. They also underlined the right of the Palestinian refugees to return to their homeland.

On Libya, they emphasized the need to respect its sovereignty and territorial integrity and rejected all forms of foreign interference in its internal affairs. They called for the withdrawal of all foreign forces, fighters and mercenaries from Libya within a specified timeframe and the dismantling of militias and unification of military and security institutions.

On Sudan, Sisi and Sheikh Mishal stressed the inevitability of reaching an immediate and sustainable ceasefire to the conflict. They rejected foreign interference in support of any of the warring parties, adding that any real political solution must be based on a strictly Sudanese vision that is formed by the Sudanese people themselves, not foreign dictates and pressure.

Moroever, Kuwait stressed its full support to Egypt’s water security, saying it is indivisible from Arab water security. Sheikh Mishal categorically rejected any violation of Egypt’s right to the waters of the Nile River.
