President Abdel Fattah El Sisi emphasized keenness on enhancing cooperation and bilateral relations with Latvia, and on continuing coordination between the two countries on political topics of mutual interest.
"Sisi received the Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Latvia, Edgars Rinkēvičs, in the presence of Foreign Minister, Sameh Shoukry, on Sunday," said Presidency Spokesperson Bassam Rady.
The president welcomed the visit of the Latvian Foreign Minister, asking for his greetings to be conveyed to the President of Latvia and the Prime Minister.
Latvia's Foreign Minister expressed his honour to meet with President Sisi. He stressed that his country is keen on pushing forward bilateral cooperation with Egypt, particularly in light of its crucial role in the Middle East and Mediterranean regions and Africa.
The meeting reviewed a multitude of dossiers of common interest. Sisi welcomed the activities of Latvian companies operating in Egypt, looking forward for more cooperation between the two sides, notably in the fields where Latvia enjoys outstanding expertise, including communications, IT, education and tourism.
The talks also focused on a number of regional and international issues of mutual concern and challenges facing African and European countries, primarily illegal migration and terrorism.
Those necessitate coordination and collaboration between the two sides so as to reach effective solutions for the challenges through a common vision. The two sides also exchanged views with regard to developments in the Russian-Ukrainian crisis and its negative impact on the global economy.
