Prince Charles, heir to the British throne, and his wife Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall, arrived in Egypt today for a two-day visit as part of their first tour since the start of the COVID-19. They paid a visit to Jordan two days ago.
As they stepped off their plane, the pair were greeted by Minister of Tourism and Antiquities Khaled El Anani and the United Kingdom's Ambassador to Cairo, Gareth Bayley, OBE.
President Abdel Fattah El Sisi and his wife, Intissar Amer, received the couple at the Ittihadiya Palace in Cairo, where they discussed combating terrorism and extremist ideology.
Sisi affirmed Egypt's solidarity with the UK in the face of terrorism following the recent terrorist incident in Liverpool. Prince Charles praised Egypt's efforts in confronting extremist ideas and combating terrorism. The meeting discussed cooperation in many fields, especially university education and health, in addition to coordinating on climate change issues.
