Egypt intensifies efforts to bring Syria back into Arab fold
Cairo says efforts are also aimed at helping end the Syria crisis.
Egypt has recently been making concerted efforts in the Syrian political crisis, supporting Damascus’ return into the Arab fold, as confirmed by Egyptian Foreign Minister Sameh Shoukry in a statement Oct. 2.
Egypt also rejected Turkey’s attempts at "demographic change" in northern Syria.
During a press conference Oct. 27 with his Romanian counterpart Klaus Werner Iohannis, Egyptian President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi said, “Egypt refuses any attempts by regional stakeholders to impose a fait accompli, whether by violating Syrian sovereignty or making demographic changes in the country.”
Sisi’s statements come in conjunction with an official and declared Egyptian rapprochement with the Syrian government and Cairo’s efforts to play an influential role in solving the Syrian crisis.
