CAIRO – 2 July 2025: Egypt’s President Abdel Fattah El Sisi reviewed Egypt’s efforts to reach a ceasefire agreement in the Gaza Strip during a phone call on Monday with the newly elected Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney.

Presidency spokesman Mohamed El-Shennawy revealed that Sisi congratulated Carney on his recent electoral victory, which he said reflected the confidence of Canadian voters, wishing him success in his new role and expressing Egypt’s keenness to work with the Canadian government to further bilateral cooperation.
