Josep Borrell: Egypt plays an important role in the region and is a partner of the European Union
The High Representative of the EU for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy for the EU, Josep Borrell, reported during a visit to Cairo on Thursday that Egypt plays an important role in the region and is a partner of the European Union.
It should be noted that Borrell visits Egypt for discussions about the latest events in Libya, where an interior dispute within the Government of National Accord (GNA) was conducted to complicate the ongoing war that happens there.
Borrell said in a tweet on Thursday: Started important visit to Cairo with the profound exchange with President Sissi. Egypt plays a key role in the region and we strive for bolstering relationships and for further cooperating on issues of mutual interest. EU and Egypt are strong partners.
Otherwise, Egypt backs the Libyan National Army (LNA), the rival of the Turkish-backed GNA, and has alerted that it will not permit Turkey or the GNA to control the strategic city of Sirte.
