President Cyril Ramaphosa received a call on Sunday evening from his Egypt counterpart, Abdel Fattah El-Sisi, who expressed his sincere congratulations on his new term of office.
Last month, President Ramaphosa was re-elected to serve for a second term at the first sitting of the National Assembly after the highly contested elections in May where he won 283 votes, against Economic Freedom Fighters leader Julius Malema who received 44.
According to the President's Office, the country's First Citizen expressed his appreciation for President El-Sisi's good wishes and agreed on the importance of continued partnership between the two countries on matters of bilateral, continental and multilateral interest. "The Presidents committed themselves to deepening the fraternal ties between Egypt and South Africa as part of advancing continental solidarity," the statement read.
