Egyptian President Abdel-Fattah al-Sisi and the US President Joe Biden discussed cooperation between the two countries, the repercussions of the global food crisis, and the disruption of energy supplies, the Egyptian Presidency said in a statement.

This was the first meeting between the Presidents of US and Egypt, Xinhua news agency reported.

For his part, Biden affirmed his government’s aspiration to activate the frameworks of bilateral cooperation and enhance the existing coordination and consultation between the two countries.

The Egyptian President also stressed the need to help regional countries through crises and reach a just and comprehensive solution that guarantees the rights of the Palestinian people and the establishment of their independent state, according to the statement.
