Egyptian President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi has greeted his Emirati counterpart at the Cairo International Airport.
Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed al Nahyan was accompanied by a delegation comprising the UAE’s Vice president and several ministers.
The Emirati leader tweeted that he and the Egyptian president “explored opportunities to further strengthen the deep-rooted ties between” their countries.
Last year, the two nations celebrated 50 years of bilateral relations and the official visit comes at a time when Egypt struggles to overcome a staggering economic crisis.
