Egyptian President Abdel Fattah El-Sisi has stressed the strong and solid relations between his country and the United Arab Emirates, greeting the Emirati people on the 50th anniversary of their country’s National Day.

“I am pleased to greet the UAE leaders and people on the 50th anniversary of the UAE's National Day,” Sisi posted on his Twitter account.

The Egyptian President also lauded achievements, progress and prosperity made by the Arab country over the past years in development, building and technological modernization.

“Over the past years, the UAE has introduced a unique model of development, urbanization, and technological modernization,” he wrote.

Sisi stressed that Egypt will enhance cooperation with the UAE to serve the interests of both countries’ peoples.

“We will continue to enhance [these relations] in a way that achieves the interests of our two peoples and nations,” the president wrote.

Late last month, Sisi received a phone call from Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Crown Prince of Abu Dhabi and Deputy Supreme Commander of the UAE Armed Forces. The spokesman for the Presidency had stated that the call touched on a number of issues pertinent to bilateral cooperation and relations between the two countries.

This is in addition to exchanging views on regional and international issues of mutual interest.

There was agreement to continue coordination and consultation between the two sides to serve the interest of both countries and peoples and to support security and stability in the region.

The General Secretariat of the Arab League will mark the International Day of Solidarity with the Palestinian People, as recognized by the United Nations General Assembly, with an event at its headquarters on Sunday.

The event will bring together permanent representatives to the league, ambassadors, representatives of foreign countries, and Arab and international organizations to emphasize unwavering solidarity with the Palestinian people in their pursuit of legitimate rights, SPA reported.
According to a statement issued by the General Secretariat on Thursday, several Palestinian and international personalities and institutions will be honored at the event in recognition of their solidarity with the Palestinian people, their support for the just Palestinian cause, and their efforts to confront the violations and crimes committed by the occupying forces.
The Arab League emphasized that this year's International Day of Solidarity with the Palestinian People comes amid ongoing acts of extermination and a brutal Israeli war of aggression lasting over a year. It called for unified international efforts to pressure Israel to cease its aggression and create a political path to end the occupation, achieve lasting peace, and establish an independent Palestinian state with East Jerusalem as its capital.
