Egyptian Foreign Minister Sameh Shoukry (1st L) meets with Bahraini Foreign Minister Sheikh Khalid bin Ahmed Al Khalifa (2nd L), Saudi Foreign Minister Adel Al-Jubeir (2nd R) and United Arab Emirates (UAE) Minister of Foreign Affairs Sheikh Abdullah Bin Zayed (1st R) in Cairo, Egypt, on July 5, 2017.
