CAIRO, July 1 (MENA) – Minister of Foreign Affairs, Emigration and Egyptian Expatriates Badr Abdelatty has affirmed the depth of cooperation between Egypt and the Sultanate of Oman.

This came during a joint press conference held Tuesday with Omani Foreign Sayyid Badr bin Hamad Al Busaidi.

Abdelatty welcomed his Omani counterpart and his accompanying delegation, referring to Egypt as their “second home.”

The minister noted that he and his Omani counterpart co-chaired the 16th session of the Egyptian-Omani Joint Committee, which is held at a significant time as bilateral relations are witnessing a major leap forward.

Abdelatty said this progress reflects the directives of President Abdel Fattah El Sisi and Sultan Haitham bin Tariq of Oman who have both called for further strengthening of ties across all fields and broadening cooperation horizons in light of the strong bonds between the two leaders and the deep-rooted ties between the Egyptian and Omani peoples.
