Egyptian President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi arrived in Kuwait on Monday, the second stop of a tour of the region that he kicked off in Qatar.

He was received upon his arrival by Emir of Kuwait Sheikh Meshal Al-Ahmad Al-Jaber Al-Sabah, Crown Prince Sheikh Sabah Khaled Al-Hamad Al-Sabah, and acting Prime Minister Sheikh Fahad Yousef Saud Al-Sabah.

A number of Kuwaiti warplanes escorted Sisi's aircraft upon its entry into Kuwaiti airspace, said the Egyptian presidency in a statement.

This is Sisi's second visit to Kuwait since he came to office in 2014. His first was in 2015 when he met with late Emir Sheikh Sabah Al-Ahmad Al-Jaber Al-Sabah.

The Egyptian leader had concluded an official visit to Qatar on Monday where he met with Emir Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al-Thani.

Qatari and Egyptian delegations held expanded talks and Sisi and Sheikh Tamim also held bilateral discussions, said an Egyptian presidency spokesman.

The meeting between the leaders focused on the war on Gaza, efforts to tackle the humanitarian crisis there, and the prisoner and hostage swap.

They reiterated their categorical rejection of the displacement of Palestinians from their territories, stressing the need to back the Arab plan on Gaza's reconstruction that ensures that the people remain on their land.

Sisi and Sheikh Tamim also reviewed other regional developments, including the situations in Syria, Lebanon and Sudan.
