There is a strong will to reach final results in a probe launched into the murder of Italian student Giulio Regeni, President Abdel Fattah El Sisi stressed on Sunday.

During a meeting with visiting Italian Interior Minister Marco Minetti, Sisi said the probe into Regeni's murder has achieved positive results thanks to judicial cooperation between the two countries.

Egypt is keen on promoting strategic partnership with Italy at all levels, presidential spokesman Bassam Rady quoted Sisi as saying.

Minetti, meanwhile, thanked Sisi for his strong determination to reach facts about the murder of Regeni.

He added that the coming period would witness more cooperation between the two countries in the field of combating illegal migration and terrorism.

Regeni, 28, had conducted research on Egypt’s independent trade unions as part of his PhD at Girton College when he disappeared on January 25, 2016.

His body had been found dumped by the side of a main road outside Cairo two weeks later
