Within the framework of international diplomacy, the Minister of Foreign Affairs, Emigration and Egyptians Abroad, Badr Abdelatty, recently received a phone call from the US Secretary of State, Antony Blinken. This conversation aimed to exchange views on the successive developments in the Middle East region.
During this exchange, the two ministers discussed the rapid developments in northern Syria and their impact on the security and stability of the region. Abdelatty stressed the need to respect Syrian sovereignty and the unity and integrity of the Syrian territory, as communicated by his spokesperson, Tamim Khallaf.
The discussions also focused on the ongoing events in the Gaza Strip, where Abdelatty stressed the imperative of intensifying regional and international efforts to achieve an immediate ceasefire and ensure an unconditional and sustainable flow of humanitarian aid to Gaza.
The Minister also took stock of the Cairo Conference to Strengthen the Humanitarian Response to Gaza, hosted by Egypt two days ago. This meeting reflected a strong international will to support the Palestinian people on the humanitarian level and stressed the need for Israel to end its arrogant policy of hindering the distribution of humanitarian aid in Gaza.
In addition, Abdelatty discussed the results of his visit to Port Sudan, highlighting Egypt’s position of support for Sudanese national institutions and respect for the unity and integrity of Sudanese territories.
Egypt is making considerable efforts to ensure the flow of humanitarian aid to Sudan and to enable regional and international relief organizations to work in the country, in the face of a deteriorating humanitarian situation, the spokesperson concluded.
This series of dialogues and diplomatic actions illustrates the importance of international cooperation in resolving humanitarian crises and regional conflicts, and underlines Egypt’s commitment as a key actor in promoting peace and stability in the Middle East.
