Egypt’s President، Abdel Fattah Al-Sisi laid on Thursday a wreath of flowers on the memorial of Unknown Soldier in Cairo’s district of Nasr City on the 46th anniversary of 6th of October war victory.
Sisi also laid a wreath of flowers on the tomb of late Presidents Anwar El-Sadat and Gamal Abdel Nasser.
The president was received by Minister of Defense and Military Production Mohamed Zaki, and as well as a number of military leaders.
Moreover, he shook hands with family members of the late two presidents.
On this occasion, Sisi presided over a meeting of the Supreme Council of the Armed Forces.
Noteworthy, ‘October War’, also known as the ‘1973 Arab–Israeli War’, was a war fought by the coalition of Arab states led by Egypt and Syria against Israel from October 6 to 25, 1973.
The war eventually led to Israeli forces withdrawing from the Sinai Peninsula on 25 April 1982 after 15 years of occupation, based on a peace treaty signed between Egypt and Israel in 1979.
Sisi returned to Cairo on Friday morning, coming from New York after attending the 74th UN General Assembly. Upon arriving, he was welcomed by hundreds of citizens.
During his visit, Egypt's head of state held 19 bilateral summits. Those meetings dealt with important issues related to Egypt and its vital interests.
