The two Arab leading figures exchanged praises for their dedication to promoting stability throughout the region and emphasised the need for cooperation and understanding among the Arab countries.
 
Al Jarwan commended Al Azhar for its role and position in the Arab world, adding that Al-Tayeb has championed “the causes of Islam and its call for tolerance.”He said Al-Tayeb helped bring stability to Egypt with his role in resolving the political crisis that followed the 30 June protests.

He also called on the Arab Parliament to help unify the curricula of basic education for the Arabic language and Arab history and religion in the region.
