Saudi UN envoy hosts farewell party for Egyptian counterpart

LONDON: Saudi Arabia’s ambassador to the UN, Abdallah Al-Mouallimi, held a farewell party for his Egyptian counterpart, Mohamed Edris, to mark the end of the latter’s tenure as his country’s permanent representative to the organization.

A number of other ambassadors from Arab countries attended the ceremony in New York, during which Al-Mouallimi wished Edris success in whatever comes next.

The Egyptian ambassador expressed his thanks and appreciation for the generous gesture, which he said was not surprising as it reflected the bonds of friendship, brotherhood and common interests that bind the two countries.
