Senate’s Deputy President Bahaa El-Din Abu Shoka met Sunday with Speaker of the National Assembly of Zimbabwe Jacob Francis Mudenda, who is currently visiting Egypt.

The Senate is keen to support any efforts to strengthen bilateral ties for the benefit of the peoples of Egypt and Zimbabwe., Abu Shoka said during the meeting

He noted that strengthening legislative links will aid in the development of all economic, commercial, cultural, and tourist relations.

Relations between Egypt and African countries improved significantly under the leadership of President Abdel Fattah El Sisi in terms of reaching a consensus on visions and coordinating joint stances in many forums, Abu Shoka said.

He reiterated Egypt’s support for all African files. “Cairo’s position on the Renaissance Dam does not imply that Egypt opposes Ethiopians’ right to progress. Egypt insists on filling the dam under a legal framework that respects international treaties and standards while also protecting the Egyptian people’s historical rights.”

In turn, Mudenda reaffirmed his country’s appreciation for Egypt’s position and weight in its regional and international environments, lauding Cairo’s achievements under President Sisi’s leadership.
