The closed bilateral meeting between Foreign Minister Sameh Shoukry and Prince Faisal bin Farhan, Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, began just a short while ago, according to Ambassador Ahmed Abu Zaid, the official spokesman for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
The meeting will take place prior to the Egyptian-Saudi Follow-up and Political Consultation Committee meeting, according to Abu Zeid.
The regular meetings of the Egyptian-Saudi Political Consultation Committee, according to Abu Zeid, are a reflection of the keen interest of the Egyptian and Saudi sides in coordination and ongoing consultation on various issues on the regional and global arenas.
The follow-up and political consultation committee between the foreign ministries of the two nations, which was set up in accordance with the memorandum of understanding signed between Egypt and Saudi Arabia in Cairo in 2007, is currently meeting for the fifth time, according to Ambassador Abu Zeid.
