Today, President Abdel Fattah El-Sisi received a phone call from Prime Minister of the United Kingdom Andy Burnham.

Spokesman for the Presidency Ambassador Mohamed El-Shennawy stated that President El-Sisi extended his sincere congratulations to the UK Prime Minister on assuming office, wishing him success in leading the British Government during the coming period. The UK Prime Minister expressed his appreciation for the President's kind gesture.

The two sides affirmed their keenness to continue advancing bilateral relations between Egypt and the United Kingdom across various fields, particularly in the economic, trade, and investment sectors, in light of the considerable potential and promising opportunities available in both countries to strengthen joint cooperation and achieve the mutual interests of the two friendly peoples.

The call also touched on a number of regional and international issues of mutual interest. Both sides expressed convergent views and aligned positions on the various topics discussed.

In this regard, President El-Sisi outlined Egypt's intensive efforts, undertaken in coordination with the relevant parties and partners, to contain the current tensions in the region amid the crisis with Iran, prevent the conflict from expanding, and prioritize diplomatic avenues and political solutions, thereby contributing to enhancing security and stability at both the regional and international levels.

For his part, the UK Prime Minister underscored the importance of continuing efforts aimed at de-escalation and creating the conducive conditions necessary to reach a political settlement to the crisis.

President El-Sisi further emphasized the need for concerted international efforts to revive the political process, leading to the establishment of an independent Palestinian state along the June 4, 1967 lines, with East Jerusalem as its capital, as the only path towards achieving a just, comprehensive, and lasting peace in the Middle East.

In this context, President El-Sisi expressed his appreciation for the positive positions adopted by the United Kingdom in support of this approach, which constitute an important contribution to efforts aimed at achieving peace and stability in the region.
