Similarly, in a meeting with Sudan’s General Abdel Fattah al-Burhan, the minister pledged continued cooperation rooted in shared history and regional solidarity.
Abdelatty also held bilateral discussions with foreign ministers from Rwanda, Burkina Faso, Benin, Angola, Zambia, Congo, Gambia, and Côte d’Ivoire, focusing on development, technical assistance, and African Union priorities. Egypt reiterated its backing for the AU’s candidate for UNESCO Director-General, Khaled El-Enany.
