He praised the role led by Cairo in supporting His Majesty King Abdullah II’s stances towards the Palestinian cause, in his capacity as custodian of the Muslim and Christian holy places in the holy city of Jerusalem. For his part, Abdelrazzaq stressed the Egyptian Senate’s support for the procedures and mechanisms of the Egyptian government in implementing the agreements with Jordan and Iraq, related to the partnership and tripartite cooperation project.
