In his first foreign visit in months, Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas will arrive in Cairo tomorrow, Sunday, and an Egyptian summit will bring him together with Egyptian President Abdel Fattah El Sisi.

The Ambassador of the State of Palestine to Egypt and its permanent representative to the Arab League, Diab Al-Louh, announced today, Saturday, that Abbas, President of the State of Palestine and Chairman of the Executive Committee of the Palestine Liberation Organization, will arrive in Cairo on Sunday to meet his Egyptian brother, President Abdel Fattah El Sisi.

Louh affirmed that a summit will bring together Abbas with his Sisi, in honor of the permanent and continuous consultation and cooperation on multiple issues at the Arab, regional and international levels, and at a very special time that the entire region is going through.

The Palestinian ambassador indicated that the visit comes within the framework of joint coordination between the two leaderships, in a way that works to meet the challenges facing the efforts of the Palestinian people to obtain their inalienable rights, achieve the right to self-determination, and establish their independent state with full national sovereignty over all the territories of the State of Palestine that was occupied in 1967 and its capital, East Jerusalem.

He also praised the position of Egypt, the leadership and the people, which stands by the Palestinian people and their just causes, and considered the Palestinian issue an Egyptian national security issue, gave it all the care and attention, and made tremendous sacrifices for it throughout its extended history.
