Egypt's Prez warns of extremist tendencies spreading to Europe

Extremist tendencies in Middle East and Africa would inevitably extend to Europe, Egypt's President Abdel-Fattah al-Sisi today warned and called for concerted French-Egyptian efforts to end terrorism.
Al-Sisi's comments came during his meeting with the French Defence Minister Jean-Yves Le Drian, according to the presidential spokesman Ihab Badawy.
In the meeting, the two leaders discussed bilateral military co-operation and the Islamic State (IS) threats as well as other regional issues of Syria and Libya, MENA reported.
Le Drian, who also met his Egyptian counterpart Sedki Sobhi, confirmed that his country keeps providing Egypt with the military shipments especially armored vehicles.

"Cairo and Paris share a close bilateral relationship in all fields, especially the military field, which reflects the desire of both parties to promote security co-operation to face the risks of globalisation of terrorism in the Middle East," the French Minister was quoted as saying by MENA.
Le Drian also said surveillance flights that France had sent to Iraq aims to ascertain how big the growing danger of the Islamic State is.
He noted that the operation also aims to contain the threat of terrorism through deploying 3,000 troops to enhance military capability in the Sahel region of Africa.
Le Drian arrived last night in Cairo after a visit to the United Arab Emirates, where he visited Al-Dhafra Airbase to discuss international efforts to combat IS.
