Article summary: 

In a press conference after the national unity meeting in al-Minya, Governor Ahmad Diyā’ al-Dīn stated that his meeting with Coptic Orthodox Pope Shenouda III was personal and that they did not discuss Maghāghah Bishopric crisis.

He said that the meeting has foiled plans by Metropolitan Aghathon of Maghāghah, who threatened to refer the issue to the pope.

A number of Muslim and Christian religious figures in Minya, except for Bishop Aghathon, attended the national unity meeting.
