Turning to the crisis in Syria, Abdel Aaty reaffirmed Egypt’s steadfast support for the Syrian people. He highlighted the necessity of a comprehensive, nationally owned political transition that respects Syria’s sovereignty, security, and territorial integrity.
Abdel Aaty emphasized that such a transition must be free from external impositions to ensure long-term stability in the country.
The phone call underscored the collaborative efforts of Egypt and the United States in addressing the region's pressing challenges.
Both leaders expressed their commitment to advancing peace, security, and humanitarian relief in the Middle East.
