During his meeting in Cairo with Jerandi, Shoukry affirmed that Egypt has backed Tunisia in all steps the country takes to achieve stability and development and fulfill the aspirations of its people.

Shoukry and Jerandi reviewed in their meeting ways to boost relations between the two countries, according to the foreign ministry.

The two ministers also tackled a number of issues and topics on the agenda of the 158th ordinary session of the League of Arab States’ (LAS) Council, that will be held at the ministerial level at the LAS’s headquarter in Cairo Tuesday.

The two officials talked about ways of supporting work mechanisms and joint Arab action and cooperation, according to the spokesman.

At the end of the meeting, Shoukry and his Tunisian counterpart underscored the importance of maintaining bilateral consultations on all fronts in the future.
