The following is attributable on the record to Spokesperson John Kirby:

Secretary Kerry spoke by telephone today with Egyptian Foreign Minister Sameh Shoukry. As he did yesterday in a call to Egyptian President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi, the Secretary offered his deepest condolences for the loss of life in the Egypt Air crash. He pledged continued U.S. support for the investigation and search effort, and he thanked the Foreign Minister once again for hosting him in Cairo earlier this week.
