CAIRO, Sept 15, 2018 (MENA) – Senior MP Moustafa El Gendy said that Egypt is keen on supporting Eritrea to regain its effective role at the African and International levels, amid latest developments in the Horn of Africa. In this regard, Gendy asserted Friday that Egypt is concerned in preserving stability, security and peace in this region. He cited recently-held talks between Egyptian Foreign Minister Sameh Shoukry and Eritrean President Isaias Afwerki in Asmara, where they discussed a number of issues of common concern and ways of strengthening bilateral relations in various areas. Afwerki comments with Shoukry are a strong evidence of Eritrea's keenness to bolster the historic ties with Egypt in the different domains and its willingness to make good use of available opportunities to cement joint cooperation, the lawmaker stressed. Gendy shed light also on the pivotal role played by Cairo in the African continent under President Abdel Fattah El Sisi. He praised the Eritrean leader's emphasis on the main role played by Cairo in the Horn of Africa and the Red Sea, as well as its great efforts to achieve peace and stability in the region.
