El-Galy highlights Egyptian-Saudi agreement on Red Sea navigation

Journalist Mohamed El-Galy said Egyptian-Saudi agreement on ensuring freedom of navigation in the Red Sea and the Bab el-Mandeb Strait carries significant importance.

His remarks focused on the shared position of Cairo and Riyadh over maritime passage through the two connected waterways.

The Red Sea is a key route for international shipping, linking to the Suez Canal in the north and passing through Bab el-Mandeb in the south.

That geography gives freedom of navigation there wider significance for trade and maritime access. El-Galy’s comments highlighted the importance of Egyptian-Saudi alignment on the issue, without detailing any specific measures.
