Egypt supports removing Sudan from list of state sponsors of terrorism
Egypt has reiterated full support for Sudan as the
Arab Parliament convenes to discuss removing the country from the list of state
sponsors of terrorism.
The relationship between Cairo and Khartoum is the
pillar of stability and security in the region, said first undersecretary of
the Egyptian parliament el Sayyed el Sherif Sunday.
Sherif said he is confident today's AP meeting would
give big momentum to joint Arab action.
Egypt, he stressed, has never spared effort to
achieve best Arab interests and never will.
Terrorism and extremism are top challenges facing
Egypt, especially with violent factions now controlling large swaths of some
countries that suffer from power vacuum, Sherif said. Those represent an Arab
security gap, he noted.
Sherif pressed for activating an Arab anti-terrorism
agreement and all relevant protocols with the aim to dry up terrorism resources
and bring terrorists to justice.
Indeed, the AP acts to defend lawful Arab rights -
atop of which the Palestinian rights - protect Arab countries and achieve
sustainable development, he said.
