Egypt, Kuwait Affirm Their Support for the Unity and Stability of Syria

Egyptian President Abdel Fattah El-Sisi and Kuwaiti Emir Sheikh Mishal Al-Ahmad Al-Jaber Al-Sabah have affirmed their support for the unity and stability of Syria, welcoming the formation of the Syrian government.

They reiterated their condemnation of Israeli occupation’s aggression against Syrian territories.
Egyptian Presidential Spokesman Ambassador Mohamed El-Shenawy said in a statement at the end of President El-Sisi’s visit to Kuwait today that the Egyptian-Kuwaiti summit discussions addressed several issues, including developments in Syria, where both sides confirmed their support for Syria’s unity and stability.
In a joint statement issued at the conclusion of their discussions, as reported by the Kuwait News Agency (KUNA), the two sides emphasized “the importance of the announcement regarding the formation of a transitional government in Syria and the necessity for it to meet the aspirations and hopes of the Syrian people to live in security, safety, and prosperity.”
They called for “the political process during the state-building phase to be inclusive, with the participation of all Syrian factions, through a national Syrian ownership without exclusion, in line with UN Security Council Resolution 2254.”
Egypt and Kuwait also urged in the statement to prioritize national interests to support stability, preserve state institutions and resources, maintain territorial integrity and identity, reject foreign interventions in Syrian affairs, and combat terrorism in all its forms.
The two sides renewed their condemnation of violations of Syrian sovereignty by Israeli occupation forces and the seizure of new areas of Syrian land.
They stressed the importance of Israel respecting international law and adhering to the disengagement agreement signed in 1974.
