Egyptian Foreign Minister Sameh Shoukry stressed on Monday Egypt's support for Iraq against any threat to its stability and security.

During a meeting with Iraqi Foreign Minister Fuad Hussein in Doha, Shoukry discussed ways of boosting ties and economic cooperation between the two countries on different levels, Foreign Ministry Spokesman Ahmed Hafez said.

The two ministers exchanged views about developments in the Arab region.

Earlier, Shoukry headed to Doha to convey a message from President Abdel-Fattah El-Sisi to Qatari Emir Tamim bin Hamad Al-Thani.

The message focuses on the positive developments in Egyptian-Qatari relations following the signing of the “Al-Ula Declaration” on 5 January.

He will also participate in the extraordinary meeting of the Arab League Council at the ministerial level to discuss developments regarding the Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam issue, which will be held at the request of Egypt and Sudan following the consultative meeting of Arab foreign ministers.
