Egypt’s defence minister Sedki Sobhi met with Saudi Ambassador Ahmed Ben Abdel-Aziz Qattan Monday, hours before Saudi Arabia announced the formation of an Islamic military coalition of 34 states to fight terrorism.
The coalition includes Egypt and will have a central base in Riyadh.
Sobhi and Qattan discussed bilateral relations and regional matters.
Qattan is also Saudi Arabia’s representative at the Arab League.
