These challenges include countering terrorist and extremist organizations, transnational organized crime, and the surge in cybercrime, according to a statement by the Egyptian presidential spokesman.

 

 

 

“These threats… have evolved into new and changing patterns and necessitate continued development and joint training to keep pace with them and strengthen efforts to maintain security and stability,” read the statement.

El-Sisi highlighted the two countries’ pivotal roles as cornerstones for regional stability, notably in light of the growing challenges that demand their constant and intensive cooperation.
