He said that Egypt would strongly oppose any attempt to undermine the GCC security and stability.

In a statement published today in Al-Ahram, he said that relations bonding Bahrain and Egypt would enter a stronger phase, building up on deep-rooted historic ties.

In this regard, he extended thanks and appreciation to His Majesty King Hamad bin Isa Al-Khalifa for allocating a land plot to construct the centre. …source
