Egypt, Qatar sign agreements to boost cooperation

Qatar’s Emir, Sheikh Tamim bin Hamed al-Thani meets with Egypt’s President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi in Doha, Qatar.

Egypt and Qatar signed three memomoranda of understanding, including one between the two nations’ sovereign wealth funds, the Egyptian presidency said on Wednesday during a two-day trip by Abdel Fattah al-Sisi to Doha.

Sisi’s trip to Qatar is his first since Cairo and Doha restored relations last year following a regional diplomatic rift. Qatar and Egypt have moved quickly to rebuild relations since, striking deals worth up to $5 billion.
