Egypt's President Abdelfatah Al-Sisi has renewed support to security of the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) States.
"Security of the Gulf is a red line and integral to Egypt's national security," Sisi said during a phone call he received from Saudi King Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud, late on Thursday, presidential spokesman Alaa Youssef said in a statement.
The president underlined the need for joining forces to counter challenges facing the Arab region, he added.
