President Al Sisi had proposed a joint military force by the Arab league more than a year ago but only King Salman of Saudi Arabia has so far agreed to the proposal.

The two side stressed the importance of Arab solidarity to confront the threats and interference aimed at undermining security and stability in the Arab region.
