On Friday, Al-Sisi received a phone call from Kurz, addressed bilateral relations and countering illegal migration.

Kurz also praised Egypt's achievements in countering terrorism and restoring security and stability, in addition to its efforts for countering illegal migration to Europe, asserting his country as the current president of the EU considers Egypt, as a pivotal partner in the process of keeping stability and security in the Middle East.
Egypt repeated several times its rejection for the idea of establishing camps to shelter refugees in Egypt or settling foreign nationals on its land.
