The leaders discussed implementing the outcomes of the joint high‑level committee held in Cairo in November 2025 and agreed to deepen cooperation across multiple sectors.
In a separate call with Tunisian President Kais Saied, Sisi reiterated Egypt’s readiness to support Tunisia in coping with its own wildfire challenges and highlighted the long‑standing brotherly relations between the two peoples.
