Egypt strongly condemned the suicide bombings in Iraq's northern city of Tikrit on Wednesday, which left at least 26 people killed and 24 others wounded, a foreign ministry statement said on Friday.
"Iraq has Egypt's full solidarity and support in the face of terrorism, which aims to destabilize its security and stability," the statement said.
Egypt has "unwavering stance on the necessity of international cooperation to fight the abominable phenomenon of terrorism, and of studying the reasons behind it and draining its financial resources," it added.
On Wednesday night, two suicide bombers wearing explosive vests detonated themselves at a crowded wedding party in the province of Salahudin, which Iraqi security forces and allied paramilitary Hashd Shaabi units managed to recapture from Islamic State (IS) militants in June 2014.
The attacks came as Iraqi security forces, backed by an international anti-IS coalition, are carrying out a major offensive to drive out IS militants from their major stronghold in the western side of Mosul in northern Iraq.
