Emir of Qatar Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani arrived in Cairo on Friday on a two-day official visit.

He arrived in the country at the invitation of President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi.

It is his first to Egypt since the AlUla declaration that was signed in 2021, ending the rift between Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, the United Arab Emirates and Egypt with Qatar over its support to terrorism.

Sheikh Tamim flew in to Egypt from Rwanda where he attended the summit for Commonwealth heads of state in Kigali.

Saudi Interior Minister Prince Abdulaziz bin Saud reaffirmed the Kingdom’s commitment to strengthening security coordination and cooperation among Gulf nations.
Speaking at the 41st GCC interior ministers’ meeting in Qatar on Wednesday, he emphasized the importance of protecting the region’s prosperity and ensuring a brighter future.
The meeting, chaired by Qatar’s Interior Minister Sheikh Khalifa bin Hamad, focused on enhancing joint security efforts and addressing key issues on the agenda.
Prince Abdulaziz warned of rising security challenges, including cybercrime, drug trafficking, and cross-border organized crime, during the GCC interior ministers’ meeting in Qatar.
He noted that advanced technologies are making it easier for criminal networks to smuggle weapons and fuel terrorism and extremism, especially in unstable regions.
The minister called for stronger collaboration, better strategies, and capacity-building to tackle these threats.
He also said that the GCC interior ministers’ meeting strengthens joint security efforts to tackle new challenges, supporting regional stability and development.
In a post on X, Prince Abdulaziz affirmed Saudi Arabia’s commitment to boosting communication, coordination, and integration among Gulf nations, particularly in security, to protect progress and ensure a brighter future.
