Continuing its diplomatic push for regional de-escalation, Egypt’s Foreign Minister Badr Abdelatty held calls with Qatari Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman Al Thani and Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi, focusing on US-Iran negotiations and easing tensions.
Abdelatty underscored the importance of dialogue and consultations to sustain ceasefires and de-escalation, emphasizing diplomatic solutions to prevent wider conflict. He stressed respect for state sovereignty, Gulf countries’ security concerns, protection of international navigation, and maritime security amid threats to global energy and trade routes.
The foreign minister called for coordination to preserve stability and national interests. These calls build on Egypt’s recent outreach to Oman, Kuwait, Pakistan, and others in support of US-Iran talks and Gulf stability.
