Egyptian President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi received the premier of the State Council of China, Li Qiang, yesterday, in the presence of Egyptian Prime Minister Mostafa Madbouly, according to a statement by the presidency in Cairo, Al Jazeera reports.
Egypt and China called for international efforts for reconstruction of Gaza. Both parties underscored the necessity of reaching a ceasefire in the Strip, ensuring the immediate delivery of humanitarian aid, and the importance of reaching a just and comprehensive solution to the Palestinian issue.
The top officials also expressed the urgent need to mobilise international support for the implementation of an Arab-initiated project aimed at rebuilding Gaza.
The leaders stated that global support must be quickly organised for the implementation of the plan for the reconstruction of Gaza, adopted at the extraordinary session of the Arab Summit held in Cairo on March 4.
The plan envisions the establishment of a “Gaza Management Committee” to manage the Gaza Strip during a six-month transitional period.
