Speaker of Majlis Ash-shura Sheikh Dr. Abdullah bin Mohammed bin Ibrahim Al Al-Sheikh lauded the depth of bilateral relations between the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and Egypt embodied by the current state visit by the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques King Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud to Egypt and his meeting with President Abdulfattah Al-Sisi in Cairo and senior Egyptian officials. In a press statement, he also praised the contents of the speech delivered by the monarch at the Egyptian House of Representatives today, citing the King's call for executives in the two countries to shoulder responsibilities towards the service of their peoples and cooperate to put the joint objectives to realities. He said the Shura Council of Saudi Arabia considers the King's speech before the Egyptian parliament a lightening model of its parliamentary ties with the Egyptian House of Representatives. He pointed to the King's call for Arab and Islamic solidarity, calling the decision to build a bridge between the two countries across the Red Sea a landmark in the ties between the two countries. Al Al-Sheikh also drew the attention to the outcome of the King's visit to Al-Azhar Al-Shareef Islamic university.
