Egyptian President sends invitation to Qatar's Emir to visit Cairo

(MENAFN)A letter from Egyptian President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi was sent to Qatar's Emir Tam'im bin Hamad Al Thani inviting him to visit Cairo "at the earliest opportunity." According to official Qatar News Agency (QNA), "The emir met with Egyptian Foreign Minister Sameh Shoukry and received a written message from his brother, the Egyptian president, related to supporting relations between the two countries and ways to strengthen and develop them." QNA further stated that the message relates to "the most prominent regional and international developments." Shoukry arrived in Doha on an official visit -- his first since the summer of 2013 when ties amid both countries were severed over Doha's rejection of ousting late President Mohamed Morsi.
