Egyptian President Abdel-Fattah El-Sisi received Sunday Jordanian counterpart King Abdullah II in an official ceremony at Ittihadeya Palace in Cairo. The two leaders attended a military parade held in honour of King Abdullah upon arrival to Cairo. El-Sisi and Abdullah II are expected to be joined later by Iraqi Prime Minister Adel Abdul-Mahdi to hold a tripartite meeting that aims at boosting ties between the three countries. The three officials are scheduled to hold a press conference following their talks.
