Egypt’s Foreign Ministry summoned the ambassador of the United Arab Emirates on Thursday after comments made by Dubai’s Police Chief Dahi Khalfan that the ministry described as being against Egypt, state-run media reported.
Egypt’s official news agency MENA said the envoy to Cairo was summoned to request “clarification from the United Arab Emirates about statements that do not go along with the nature of the special relationship between the two countries.”
It said the statements, made on Twitter, were an “attack on Egypt,” without citing the remarks that caused the offence.
