In a significant step toward regional stability, Egyptian Foreign Minister Badr Abdelatty and Syrian Foreign Minister Asaad Hassan al-Shiban held a productive phone conversation on Tuesday, marking a renewed commitment to addressing ongoing conflicts in the Middle East. Both sides underscored their shared responsibility in promoting peace and stability in the region.
Egypt’s Foreign Ministry stated that Abdelatty reaffirmed his country’s unwavering support for Syria’s sovereignty, national unity, and the protection of its institutions. The Egyptian top diplomat emphasized the importance of the Syrian people achieving their legitimate aspirations, free from external interference.
Abdelatty also called for a comprehensive political process in Syria, one that is inclusive of all national parties. He highlighted the necessity of reflecting Syria’s diverse ethnic, religious, and societal makeup to ensure a lasting and peaceful resolution. “An inclusive approach is crucial for Syria’s future,” he said, stressing the need for a political framework that unites the country’s diverse communities.
The conversation comes amid heightened diplomatic activity across the region as both Egypt and Syria work toward greater cooperation to resolve regional issues. Egypt has long advocated for stronger diplomatic efforts to address the Middle East’s complex conflicts, while Syria continues its focus on rebuilding following years of civil war and instability.
Both foreign ministers agreed to remain in close contact, reinforcing the growing diplomatic ties between the two nations. This call signals a potential shift toward closer cooperation between Egypt and Syria, with broader implications for the Arab and African regions as they work together to secure long-term peace and stability.
