El-Gebaly, who is currently visiting Kuwait, said the relations between Egypt and Kuwait are historical and deep-rooted.

"Kuwait has a special place in the hearts of the Egyptian people because of its strong and solid support for Egypt," said El-Gebaly, noting that "the political leadership of the two countries have always been keen on coordinating among themselves at all levels and in a way that serve the interests of their peoples."

Marzouq El-Ghanem, the speaker of the Kuwaiti National Assembly, said Kuwait has always been interested in building strategic relations with Egypt in all fields, particularly in parliamentary terms.

El-Gebaly also met with the crown prince of Kuwait Sheikh Meshaal Al-Ahmad El-Sabbah.

El-Gebaly said Egypt and Kuwait have similar positions on the majority of Arab and international issues. "This makes relations between the two countries very strong and remarkable," said El-Gebaly.

For his part, Sheikh Meshaal Al-Ahmad El-Gaber El-Sabbah said Kuwait is proud of its close relations with Egypt and that "Kuwait highly appreciates Egypt's constructive role in supporting Arab causes."
