He also added that Senegal looked forward to elevating economic and cultural cooperation with Egypt and to continue coordination and consultation on various African and regional issues of mutual interest, thereby bolstering efforts to achieve peace, stability, and development in the continent.
The two presidents exchanged views on a number of regional issues and emphasized the need to adopt comprehensive, peaceful solutions that address the root causes of crises and preserve the unity, sovereignty, and territorial integrity of states.
The two presidents also addressed the issue of water. The Senegalese President noted his country’s alignment with Egypt’s position regarding the Nile River and emphasized the wise management of shared water resources and respect for relevant international law—with the possibility of drawing upon the model of the Senegal River Basin Development Authority. This model is based on consultation, dialogue, and the principle of causing no harm, thereby enhancing water security and supporting sustainable development pathways across the African continent.
