The Wall Street Journal suggested that Egyptian President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi will meet with Syrian regime leader Bashar Assad after the end of Ramadan.
Sources told the newspaper that no date or place has been determined so far for a possible summit between Sisi and Assad, stressing that “advanced” negotiations are being held between Egypt and Syria to completely reestablish diplomatic relations that had been broken for more than 10 years.
The report noted that officials from both sides could meet this weekend to discuss the possibility of the Syrian regime returning to its Syrian seat in the Arab League.
The sources pointed out that Egyptian companies hope to obtain contracts worth billions of dollars for the reconstruction of Syria if relations return.
