Egyptian Foreign Minister Sameh Shoukry received on Saturday visiting Portuguese Foreign Minister Joao Cravinho and Slovenian Foreign Minister Tanja Fajon to discuss the latest developments in the Gaza Strip.

The Egyptian Foreign Ministry said that the joint visit of the two ministers comes within the framework of keenness to coordinate and consult with Egypt to discuss ways of finding a solution to the current crisis in Gaza, putting an end to the ongoing attacks against Palestinian civilians, and working to entering humanitarian and relief aid to the residents of the Gaza Strip.

The foreign ministers of Portugal and Slovenia welcomed the humanitarian truce declared in the Gaza Strip, expressing their appreciation for the role played by Egypt in reaching this agreement.
