Upon arrival in Cairo yesterday to attend the inauguration ceremony of President Al-
Sisi, the Vice Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques, Prince Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud,
delivered the following press statement:

Quote:

"In this blessed day in which I arrived in the Arab Republic of Egypt on behalf of the
Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques King Abdullah bin Abdulaziz Al Saud to attend the
inauguration ceremony of President Abdul Fattah Al-Sisi, I am pleased to express my
great happiness on this occasion representing a great turning point for Egypt toward
security, stability and march on a path of sustainable development, by God willing.
We hope that the election of President Abdul Fattah Al-Sisi ushers in a new era in
Egypt, as the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques King Abdullah bin Abdulaziz Al Saud said
it is a turning day between the two phases of chaos and stability, and no nation builds
its future and establishes its glory without stability. There is no doubt that the
assumption of the President of the leadership of Egypt and its people will achieve the
aspirations of the Egyptian people.

The people of Egypt in this day write their future with their hands to face the
challenge and build a future worthy of their potentials and civilization. The President,
believing in his great civilization and faithful people can bear the difficulties to
restore for Egypt its responsible role in the Arab world and international community.

The government and people of Saudi Arabia will remain under the directives of the
Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques King Abdullah bin Abdulaziz Al Saud a faithful brother
standing side by side by sisterly Egypt in adversity and prosperity.
May Allah Almighty crown with full success the efforts of Egypt's leaders and people on
the new track and protect them from any harm." Unquote.
