During the press release after the closing ceremony of the League of Arab States \u2013 European Union Summit held on February 24-25 in Egypt\u2019s Sharm el-Shiekh, President Abdel Fatah al-Sisi spoke about the importance of working together to combat terrorist efforts to hurt countries. <\/p>\n
\u201cWe must limit the technologies that terrorist organizations have access to, especially that they use these to recruit new fighters,\u201d Sisi stated. <\/p>\n
Prior to these comments, Sisi had given his closing speech, during which he spoke of the success of the summit and the great value added to the relationship between the countries in the Arab region and those in the European Union. <\/p>\n
\u201cI am confident that these discussions have clarified the strategies and the direction of mutual points of interest between the countries here today,\u201d said Sisi, explaining that it was important for countries to sit down and talk together about these issues. <\/p>\n
Having these discussions on such a level allows us to move forward together and build a strong strategy together. \u201cThis is a high priority for our country and other countries,\u201d Sisi said. <\/p>\n
Sisi went on to point out that the different points of views that were present during the summit allowed discussions to be of higher values and to go further, it also allowed us to discuss more and search more into different ways and strategies. <\/p>\n
\u201cWhat connects the Arab and European region are more than those that separate them,\u201d stated Sisi, elaborating that this is something that has become evident over the past few days. <\/p>\n
\u201cI am sure that you will agree with me that the success of this summit is not just in the discussions that we have had, but also in the long and strong relations between the countries,\u201d Sisi explains. <\/p>\n
\u201cAllow me once more to talk to our nations. Dear nations that love piece, we have finished today the summit [\u2026] you are the beneficiaries of our talks and you are the ones who will reap the fruits of these talks. I, therefore, invite you to bypass all the issues that separate you and embrace those things that bring you closer and bring you together.\u201d <\/p>\n
Sisi ended his speech saying, \u201cI do not say good bye, but rather farewell until the next Arab-European Summit.\u201d <\/p>\n
Sisi also thanked all the world leaders that aided in the successful discussions that took place over the past few days. <\/p>\n
\u201cTrade, security and climate change are amongst the two most important things for us to cooperate on,\u201d stated Donald Tusk, President of the European Council. <\/p>\n
On the Arab side and the European side, it is important for us to move forward and take positive steps towards cooperation and progress, Tusk explains. \u201cWe need to do this through innovation [\u2026] we need to face the ever-changing world.\u201d <\/p>\n
More cooperation is needed to face poverty, hunger, terrorism, and so many other things, he explained. \u201cWe are adamant on working together to face these issues,\u201d Tusk stated. <\/p>\n
Although the three things that need cooperation are trade, security and climate change, it is vital to work on other things as well, like those that have been mentioned, to move forward. <\/p>\n
\u201cThe actions that will follow this summit are far louder than our words,\u201d Tusk continued. It is important for all societies and countries to work together and to reach the important goals that will allow us to move forward, explained Tusk. <\/p>\n
