Egypt's President Abdel-Fattah El-Sisi said that the danger of terrorism is spreading like a “cursed plague,” urging leaders attending the EU-Arab League summit to stand together against it. “This plague, with its reasons, can never be justified. Terrorism is different than opposing something, which is healthy for political life,” El-Sisi said, going on to speak about the country's comprehensive vision on combating terrorism. El-Sisi said that terrorism “was used by some states to spread chaos in neighbouring countries,” without giving further details. He also spoke about migration and the migration crisis in several countries in the region. With the participation of more than 50 European Union and Arab League member states, the summit is the first ever between the two bodies. The summit is being convened under the title "Investing in Stability." Arab and European leaders will seek to strengthen Arab-European ties and address a wide range of issues and common challenges, including migration, border security and the situation in the region.
