Egypt's President Abdel-Fattah El-Sisi discussed Egyptian-Emirati relations as well as the latest the regional developments with Abu Dhabi Crown Prince Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan in Cairo on Tuesday, the Egyptian presidency said in a statement.

The two officials discussed boosting the close relations between the two countries in different fields as well as the continuous coordination and consultation between the two states on the challenges facing Arab national security.

They also stressed their rejection of all forms of interference in the internal affairs of Arab countries, and expressed their support for efforts to reach political solutions to the different crises in the region.

The duo last met in Cairo in April, days after El-Sisi's re-election for a second four-year term.

El-Sisi also sat down with bin Zayed in February in the Emirati capital Abu Dhabi, where they focused on combating terrorism and depriving extremist groups of funding.

Egypt and the UAE are part of a Saudi-led Arab alliance that severed diplomatic ties and transport links with Qatar in June 2017, saying that Doha had been supporting terrorist groups and meddling in their internal affairs. Qatar has denied the accusations.
