Egyptian President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi met Syria's new president, Ahmed al-Sharaa, for the first time on the sidelines of the summit held to discuss Gaza's reconstruction in Cairo on Tuesday.
The Egyptian presidency said in a later statement that Sisi urged launching a comprehensive political process that includes all Syrians without excluding any parties during the meeting with Sharaa.
Sisi also expressed Egypt's keenness on the unity and safety of Syrian lands, reiterating its rejection to any "assault" on Syrian territory.
