During the meeting in Manama, both leaders discussed ways to continue joint efforts to de-escalate regional tensions and restore stability across the region.
President El-Sisi reiterated Egypt's rejection and condemnation of the unjustified attacks against the territory of Bahrain as a flagrant violation of international law and a dangerous escalation that threatens regional security and stability.
He renewed Egypt's firm opposition to any attempts to undermine the security and stability of Bahrain, the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) states, or any other Arab countries.
El-Sisi further stressed Egypt's full solidarity with those nations and its support for all measures they take to safeguard their sovereignty and protect their peoples' resources.
The president underscored that the security of Arab states is an integral part of Egypt's national security, praising Bahrain's wisdom under the leadership of King Hamad in preserving regional stability.
El-Sisi affirmed that Egypt is making intensive efforts to maintain regional stability and reduce the current tensions and escalation, emphasizing that all crises should be resolved through peaceful means.
For his part, King Hamad expressed his appreciation for Egypt's support for Bahrain and the close ties between the two countries. The king commended Egypt's steadfast support for the security and stability of the GCC states and Arab countries.
He stressed the importance of continued consultation and close coordination between Cairo and Manama to preserve regional peace and stability and address the common challenges facing both countries.
El-Sisi arrived in Bahrain after concluding a visit to Qatar, where he offered condolences following the death of former Emir Sheikh Hamad bin Khalifa Al Thani.
His Gulf tour comes amid a renewed escalation between the US and Iran. Tehran has continued launching attacks targeting several Gulf states and Jordan in response to renewed US strikes.
Washington has also accused Iran of attacking shipping in the Strait of Hormuz, a key flashpoint in the confrontation between the two countries.
