Sisi denies any conflict with Saudi Arabia

Egyptian President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi has denied any conflicts with Saudi Arabia, and warned the media and social media users to avoid any attempts to stir up sedition.

Parliamentarians and party leaders stressed that President Sisi’s statements officially confirm the strength of relationships between the two countries.

The controversy began after posts and articles shared across social media between Egyptian and Saudi writers led to fears of a growing political dispute.

During the inauguration of an industrial project on Thursday, Sisi said “Egypt’s policy has always been characterized by moderation, balance and strict discipline towards everyone at home and abroad.”
