President Abdel Fattah El Sisi received Saturday 30/05/2020 a phone call from his French counterpart Emmanuel Macron, where they discussed the latest international and regional developments, topped by the Libyan crisis.

During the call, Macron stressed the importance of exchanging views with Sisi on the Libyan file, due to Egypt's vital regional role, presidential spokesman Bassam Rady said in a statement.

For his side, Sisi reiterated Egypt's unshakable stance towards the Libyan crisis, stating the importance of restoring the Libyan national institutions, ending the widespread chaos caused by militias and terror gangs, and making the fight against terrorism a top priority, as well as stopping the foreign interference into the Libyan affairs, which led to the destabilization of the war-torn country.

Sisi and Macron agreed on boosting coordination in this regard in the coming period, and the significance of reaching a political settlement, paving the way for restoring peace and security.

In the meantime, both the leaders also discussed boosting the bilateral ties between the two countries.
