Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras has hailed Greece and Cyprus as bastions of stability in a volatile region ahead of a tripartite meeting between the leaders of the two countries and Egypt's Abdel-Fattah Sissi on Tuesday.

Egypt’s President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi will not seek a third term in office, he said in an interview with CNBC, adding that he does not intend to change the constitution and its provision of a two-term presidential limit.
