Rome - Italian Prime Minister Matteo Renzi has hailed Egyptian President Abdel Fattah Al Sisi as the only leader who can "save" Egypt, after a deadly car bomb attack on Rome's consulate in Cairo.
He also vowed that Italy would not be "intimidated" after Saturday's attack claimed by the Daesh group that killed one civilian and injured nine more people.
"I think Al Sisi is a great leader," Renzi said in an interview with Al Jazeera television broadcast on Sunday.
"Let me be very frank. In this moment Egypt will be saved only with the leadership of Al Sisi," Renzi said in English.
"This is my personal position and I am proud of my friendship with him and I will support him in the direction of peace because the Mediterranean without Egypt will be absolutely a place without peace."
Speaking to Sisi on Saturday after the consulate bombing, Renzi said the two countries will stand together "in the fight against terrorism and fanaticism".
The attack was the first on a foreign mission in Egypt since militants began a campaign against the country's security forces two years ago following a crackdown on militants.
Asked by La Repubblica newspaper about possible reasons Italy was targeted, Renzi said he would not play a "guessing game".
"Attacks like this can have random aspects, to show the logistical ability to hit a Western nation," he told the paper.
"One thing is for sure, Italy must react with quiet steadfastness. We will not allow ourselves to be intimidated."
Renzi also told Al Jazeera it was "absolutely important" for Egypt to ensure a free media and to enable journalists to work in safety.
