The visit also comes at the time when Egypt is electing its House of Representatives which is the third phase of Egypt's roadmap plan, supported by UAE, in order to end two years of the transitional phase in Egypt and launch a new phase that could meet the aspirations of the Egyptian people towards stability and security.

Sisi's visit to UAE also provides a chance for beefing up economic relations in view of the important UAE stance supportive of stability and security in Egypt through a number of investment and development projects funded and carried out in Egypt.

The two sides will also hold consultations on mutual relations as well as regional and international issues of common interest.
