Meanwhile, Macron said he appreciated Sisi’s felicitations and expressed interest in meeting him soon to further the historical bilateral ties that link the two countries. He also expressed interest in boosting coordination with Egypt on several regional and international issues of joint interests. The two leaders also tackled several bilateral issues and ways of promoting them; as well as the resumption of investigations into the downed EgyptAir airplane last year, which was en route from Paris to Cairo. The two men also discussed recent developments of regional issues, including efforts to achieve progress in a political resolution of the situation in Libya.
