Egypt stands with Greece to confront the provocative operations in the eastern Mediterranean
During the summit meeting that brought together Egyptian President Abdel Fattah El-Sisi and his Greek counterpart, Katrina Saklaropoulou, Sisi stated that his country stands with Greece against any provocative operations in the eastern Mediterranean or linked to its maritime borders within the limits of international laws and norms.
Al-Sisi added that relations with Greece are progressing significantly, indicating that the signing of the maritime border demarcation agreement reflects the size of the understanding and the strength of relations between the two countries, according to Al-Youm Al-Sabea.
While Sisi stressed that combating terrorism and extremism is not linked to religions, but rather is a form of ideological deviation that we all suffer from, adding: "An important force is that this matter does not turn into an offense to religions and to the feelings of believers."
Al-Sisi issued a decision last August to approve an agreement with Greece regarding the designation of the exclusive economic zone, the location between the two countries, and an area that includes promising reserves of oil and gas.
