They reiterated their support for a two-state solution as the only viable path to lasting peace in the Middle East. The visit reaffirms Egypt's and the UAE's alignment on several critical regional files, with Libya remaining a shared strategic concern due to its proximity to Egypt and the broader implications of its instability on regional security.
