The Emirates News Agency (WAM) reported that Sisi and bin Zayed conducted an inspection visit to the Egyptian fighter jets detachment stationed in the UAE to review their readiness and the efforts being made to enhance operational capabilities and prepare for various scenarios.

The agency explained that bin Zayed received Sisi, who is currently visiting the UAE, and they discussed bilateral relations and ways to strengthen cooperation.
