Egypt and Qatar signed three memomoranda of understanding, including one between the two nations' sovereign wealth funds, the Egyptian presidency said on Wednesday during a two-day trip by Abdel Fattah el-Sisi to Doha. Sisi's trip to Qatar is his first since Cairo and Doha restored relations last year following a regional diplomatic rift. El-Sisi and the emir discussed ways of strengthening relations between the two countries, particularly in the fields of investment, transport and social affairs, the emir’s office said. The emir visited Cairo in June. Qatar and Egypt have moved quickly to rebuild relations since, striking deals worth up to $5 billion.
