Prime Minister Sherif Ismail said Tuesday that Egypt's non-permanent membership of the UN Security Council will start as of next year.

Egypt will act to support Arab efforts in fighting terrorism and shed light on important Arab issues and demands, Ismail said in a meeting with former Lebanese premier Fouad Seniora.

He stressed that his country will also support efforts to achieve stability in the region and meet aspirations of its peoples.
