Egyptian President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi on Monday said the fight against “terrorism” needs a new Muslim religious discourse in addition to security and military measures.

“The rise in terrorism… requires a thoughtful response from the international community,” said Sisi told the World Future Energy Summit in Abu Dhabi.

“The fight must not only be restricted to security and military aspects… but should include a reformed religious discourse from which false ideologies that could lure some into adopting violence to impose their ideas have been removed,” he said.

Egypt and the United Arab Emirates enjoy a close relationship and cooperate in various fields besides military activities.
