The President’s remarks came on Tuesday as he received the Director of the Foreign Intelligence Service of the Russian Federation, Sergei Naryshkin, and his accompanying delegation. The meeting was attended by Head of the General Intelligence Service, Major General Abbas Kamel.
The meeting addressed regional developments, with a focus on achieving stability in the Middle East amidst the crisis in Gaza and the escalating tensions in the region. Discussions also touched on various African issues, counter terrorism efforts, and updates on international situations, notably in Ukraine and Afghanistan.
Furthermore, the meeting stressed the importance of reaching a fair and comprehensive settlement to the Palestinian issue and the establishment of a Palestinian state along the 1967 borders with East Jerusalem as its capital, to ensure peace and stability in the Middle East.
