Egypt\u2019s President Abdel Fattah Al-Sisi held a phone conversation, on Saturday, with his Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) counterpart Felix Tshisekedi, to discuss issues of regional and African concern.<\/p>\n

During the phone call, Al-Sisi renewed Egypt\u2019s support for the DRC, as well as his country\u2019s aspiration to raise the level of political consultation with the fellow African country.<\/p>\n

\u201cEgypt will continue its developmental efforts in DRC,\u201d the president said according to an official statement from the presidential office.<\/p>\n

Both Al-Sisi and Tshisekedi exchanged views on a number of regional and continental issues of mutual interest, as the DRC will take over as the next chair of the African Union (AU) in 2021.<\/p>\n

For his part, the DRC president expressed his keenness on boosting relations with Egypt, and expressed his country\u2019s appreciation for the matter\u2019s support of stability and development in his country.<\/p>\n

In a previous meeting between the two leaders in 2019, Tshisekedi affirmed the DRC\u2019s support for Egypt\u2019s position regarding River Nile waters issue.<\/p>\n

Al-Sisi also affirmed that Egypt will remain a supportive friend to the Democratic Republic of Congo, and will work to assist the country\u2019s citizens at the political and developmental levels. He added this will continue during the DRC\u2019s chairmanship of the AU, as well as within the ongoing bilateral cooperation so as to preserve their unity and territorial integrity.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
