Egypt’s Foreign Minister Badr Abdelatty received a phone call from his Ukrainian counterpart Andrii Sybiha, during which the two discussed developments in bilateral relations and efforts to strengthen cooperation in areas such as culture, trade, and economics, according to a statement from Egypt’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
The conversation also touched on the latest mediation initiatives regarding the Ukraine-Russia conflict, particularly the U.S.-brokered indirect talks recently held in Jeddah and Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. Sybiha provided updates on the outcomes of those sessions and the prospects for further negotiations.
In response, Abdelatty reiterated Egypt’s full support for diplomatic efforts that aim to restore security and stability in the region. He emphasized Cairo’s firm belief that dialogue and diplomacy remain the most viable path toward a sustainable ceasefire and a peaceful resolution to the conflict.
Egypt has maintained a balanced position since the beginning of the war. While condemning the Russian invasion, Cairo has also preserved open channels with Moscow, underscoring President Abdel Fattah El-Sisi’s strategy of engagement with all sides.
Sisi has consistently stressed that Egypt’s approach is guided by the pursuit of peace, stability, and de-escalation. Egyptian officials believe that continued dialogue is essential to avoiding further bloodshed and bringing the parties to the negotiating table.
The phone call underscores Egypt’s growing diplomatic role as a regional mediator and trusted interlocutor in times of international crisis.
French President Emmanuel Macron arrived in Egypt on Sunday evening for a high-stakes two-day visit focused primarily on the ongoing war in Gaza between Israel and Hamas, according to the French presidency.
North Sinai Governor Khaled Megawer has firmly denied claims that New Rafah City is intended for the relocation of Palestinians, calling such allegations “completely baseless.”
In a rare move after months of diplomatic silence, French President Emmanuel Macron and Algerian President Abdelmadjid Tebboune held a phone call on Monday evening in a bid to ease escalating tensions between their countries.
