British Minister of State for the Middle East and North Africa James Cleverley has stressed the pivotal regional role played by Egypt, confirming that Egypt represents the pillar of security and stability in the Middle East.
This came during a meeting held by the Egyptian ambassador in London, Tarek Adel, with the British official, as they addressed the developments in the Egyptian-British relations and discussed efforts to strengthen them at various levels.
