Head of House of Representatives Foreign Affairs
Committee affirmed the importance of boosting joint anti-terrorism efforts with
the US, in light of profound strategic relations binding the two countries.
Lawmaker Karim Darwish made the remarks during his
meeting with US Coordinator for Counter-terrorism Ambassador Nathan A. Sales.
The meeting tackled Egypt-US cooperation against
terrorism, alongside coordinating and exchanging views in this regard, Darwish
said in statements on Thursday.
Egypt has adopted a multi-dimension comprehensive
strategy to counter terrorism, the lawmaker added, pointing out to the
achievements it realized in fighting terrorism at the military and security
levels.
Darwish shed light on the role played by Egypt's religious
institutions in combating extremist ideologies.
Egypt's counter terrorism strategy is mainly based
on countering terrorism through encouraging development, creating job
opportunities, along with promoting economic and social rights of millions of
Syrian refugees living in the country, he added.
Egypt has been spearheading efforts meant to reach
settlement to regional crises and issues with the aim of realizing stability
and security, Darwish noted.
