In a statement on Friday, Arab League chief Nabil El Arabi said that the outcome of this visit is a great step to further develop bilateral relations between both countries.

Arabi hailed the agreement reached during the talks held between President Abdel Fattah El Sisi and the Saudi Prince to set up the joint Arab force.
