Shoukry meets with host of Arab Foreign Ministers

Foreign Minister Sameh Shoukry met with his counterparts from the Arab Quartet during meetings for the Coalition to Restore Legitimacy in Yemen in Riyadh on Monday, according to an official ministry statement. The four sides also discussed Qatar and continued to press the 13 demands made of Qatar as the prerequisite to normalizing relations. Shoukry separately met with his Saudi Foreign Minister Adel Al Jubeir ato discuss boosting Saudi investments in Egypt. Shoukry’s meeting with his Jordanian counterpart Ayman Safadi primarily focused on US Vice President Mike Pence’s visit to the region and the Jerusalem issue.

On that front, Pence announced that the US will move its embassy to Jerusalem in 2019, Bloomberg reports. "In the weeks ahead, our administration will advance its plan to open the United States Embassy in Jerusalem, and that United States Embassy will open before the end of next year,” he said.
