Moussa added that Cairo wants, more than ever, to coordinate its policies with Iran in connection with issues pertaining to the Islamic world, the paper said, referring to the sour relationship between the two countries for the past 20 years, over signing Egypt a peace treaty with Israel in 1978 – Albawaba.com
