Sheikh Jarrah described Egypt as a key contributor to joint Arab action and a pillar of regional security and stability. He praised Cairo’s efforts, in coordination with Arab countries and international partners, to address regional challenges through dialogue, diplomacy and humanitarian action.

He expressed appreciation for Egypt’s solidarity with fellow Arab countries facing unjustified attacks, particularly amid the crisis affecting the region since February. He also commended its role in addressing developments in the Gaza Strip, Sudan and Libya, stressing its sustained contribution to Arab and Islamic efforts. The committee reviewed bilateral relations and opportunities to expand cooperation across key sectors.
