Egyptian President Abdel-Fattah El-Sisi.
“I wish him success in achieving the aspirations of the Syrian people for further progress and prosperity,” El-Sisi wrote on his official Facebook page.
On Wednesday, the Military Operations Administration that ruled Syria after the ouster of President Bashar Al-Assad installed Al-Sharaa as Syria's president in the transitional phase.
Since the fall of al-Assad's regime on 8 December, Egypt has consistently reaffirmed its full support for the Syrian people, expressing hope that the political transition in Syria will be inclusive and entirely led by Syrians, free from external interference.
In late December, Egypt’s Foreign Minister Badr Abdelatty had his first phone call with Syria's interim foreign minister, reaffirming Egypt's full support for the Syrian people and their legitimate aspirations.
Syria has suffered 13 years of civil war, killing over 500,000 people, displaced millions, and rendered half of the country's hospitals non-operational.
Approximately 1.5 million Syrians reside in Egypt, representing the second-largest foreign community in the country after Sudanese nationals.
