KUALA LUMPUR: Egyptian President Abdel Fattah El-Sisi has invited Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim to attend the Gaza Reconstruction Conference in Egypt.
Anwar said the invitation was conveyed by El-Sisi during a phone conversation today.
The Prime Minister was briefed on the latest developments regarding the Gaza peace plan during the call.
