CAIRO, Aug. 1 (Xinhua) -- Egyptian President Abdel-Fattah al-Sisi and Dutch Prime Minister Dick Schoof on Friday held a phone conversation on the latest regional developments, with a particular focus on efforts to secure a ceasefire in the Gaza Strip, according to a statement from the Egyptian presidency.
During the phone conversation, Sisi reviewed the Egyptian efforts to facilitate a ceasefire agreement in the Gaza Strip and ensure the urgent and sufficient entry of humanitarian aid.
He also highlighted the importance of securing the release of hostages, which he said would pave the way for a political process centered on the two-state solution and the establishment of an independent Palestinian state.
Sisi reaffirmed Egypt's longstanding position that the two-state solution is the only viable path to achieving lasting peace and stability in the region, reiterating Egypt's "firm stance in rejecting attempts to displace the Palestinian people from their land."
Schoof, for his part, expressed his country's appreciation for Egypt's efforts to secure a ceasefire, release hostages, and provide humanitarian aid to the strip.
The two sides also reviewed ways to enhance cooperation on migration and confronting terrorism and extremism. Enditem
