President Abdel Fattah El-Sisi met on Saturday with Indonesian President Prabowo Subianto on the sidelines of the 18th BRICS Summit in New Delhi.
The two presidents reviewed Egyptian-Indonesian relations, particularly following the signing of a strategic partnership agreement between the two countries in April 2025.
Presidency Spokesman Ambassador Mohamed El-Shennawy said the two leaders exchanged views on regional and international issues of mutual concern, particularly developments related to the war with Iran.
President El-Sisi stressed the importance of prioritising diplomacy to reach a peaceful settlement and reaffirmed the need to uphold freedom of navigation through international waterways.
The talks also covered the Palestinian issue, which the two presidents described as the central issue in the region.
They stressed the need for a just settlement based on the two-state solution and relevant international legitimacy resolutions, leading to the establishment of an independent Palestinian state along the June 4, 1967 borders, with East Jerusalem as its capital.
The two leaders rejected any forced displacement of Palestinians from their land. They also stressed the need to implement the Gaza ceasefire agreement, ensure the delivery of humanitarian aid and halt practices against Palestinians in the West Bank.
