Sisi: Egypt to Continue Supporting DRC to Boost Security

President Abdel Fattah El Sisi affirmed on Saturday that Egypt would continue its support to the Democratic Republic of the Congo to consolidate security and stability in the sisterly African nation.

"During a phone call with Congolese counterpart Félix Tshilombo, Sisi discussed areas of cooperation and coordination, topped by Egypt's development efforts in Congo," Presidential Spokesman Bassam Rady said.

The two sides also exchanged views on various regional and intentional issues of mutual concern, especially in light of Congo's imminent chairmanship of the African Union in 2021.

Meanwhile, Tshilombo said he is looking forward to furthering bilateral ties, voicing appreciation to Egypt's keen efforts to support his country in various domains and at all regional and international arenas to ensure security and stability in Congo.
