Kuwaiti-Egyptian Flags Decorate Streets Ahead of Sisi’s Visit

Kuwaiti and Egyptian flags were spotted along Kuwait Airport routs for decoration ahead of visit of the President Abdel-Fattah El-Sisi.

El-Sisi is set to arrive in Kuwait on Saturday and hold talks with Kuwait’s Emir Sabah Al-Ahmad Al-Jaber Al-Sabah on Sunday, focusing on enhancing bilateral relations and issues of mutual interest.

The visit will see the signing of a number of bilateral cooperation agreements, Egyptian Ambassador to Kuwait Tarek El Kouny said.

El-Sisi will also meet with a number of senior Kuwaiti officials.

The ambassador said the visit reflects the special bond of the Egyptian and Kuwaiti people and their solidarity in the face of challenges and threats during the recent years.

It will be El-Sisi’s third official visit to the country since he assumed office in 2014.

The Kuwaiti ambassador affirmed that President Sisi's visit to Kuwait reflects the deep bilateral brotherly relations between the two countries and their peoples over decades.

"This unique relationship has embodied, through its updates and developments, a great success story that we have the right to be proud of and to present to the world as an actual model of unity of purpose, sincerity of orientation, blending of visions, and joint pursuit of the aspirations of our peoples and our nation for development, security and stability," he said.

Saleh discribed Sisi as a "wise leader" of a brotherly country that is linked to Kuwait with years of brotherhood and cooperation over history. He added that this visit is a good opportunity to review the various aspects of close brotherly relations between the two countries.

Kuwaiti National Assembly Speaker Marzouq Ali Al-Ghanim in January said that the Egyptian-Kuwaiti relations represent a model to follow in view of the distinguished ties which are based on trust and integration at all levels.

In statements to Middle East News Agency (MENA), Ghanim highlighted the strong relations between the Kuwaiti Emir and the Egyptian President, in addition to ties between governments in both countries.

Ghanim said that the Kuwaiti National Assembly considers the Egyptian parliament as a major partner, adding that relations with Egypt's parliament reflect unique ties binding both countries.
