CAIRO – Egyptian Prime Minister Moustafa Madbouli said Tuesday that President Abdel Fattah El Sisi always directs support for Lebanon, especially during such critical circumstances.
Cairo wishes all success for the new Lebanese government under Prime Minister Najib Miqati, Madbouli said during a meeting with visiting Lebanese Minister of Energy and Water Walid Fayyad.
Fayyad said he was keen to stop in Egypt on his first overseas visit after assuming his post, noting that he appreciates Cairo’s pivotal role in the Middle East region and its efforts to support Beirut.
Fayyad also reviewed the outcome of talks he had with his Egyptian counterpart Tareq el Molla on transferring Egyptian gas to Lebanon in a bid to solve an electricity problem there.

Beirut is looking forward to boosting co-operation with Cairo at all levels in the coming stage, Fayyad noted.
