Egypt called for addressing the security concerns of Gulf Arab states and establishing clear parameters to prevent future attacks following a memorandum of understanding between the United States and Iran, its foreign minister said on Tuesday.
Foreign Minister Badr Abdelatty stressed the need to restore trust among regional parties during a telephone call with United Arab Emirates Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Sheikh Abdullah bin Zayed Al Nahyan. Discussing the implications of the US-Iran agreement, Abdelatty emphasised that rebuilding regional trust requires safeguarding countries in the region, particularly Gulf states, against repeated hostilities.
The ongoing US-Iran negotiations were also the primary focus of a separate discussion on Tuesday between Abdelatty and Greek Foreign Minister Giorgos Gerapetritis. Alongside the US-Iran talks, the two officials reviewed broader regional developments, including the situations in Libya and the Eastern Mediterranean.
In both discussions, Abdelatty highlighted the strength of Egypt’s bilateral ties, noting a shared commitment to close consultation with the UAE and praising the continued advancement of Egypt’s strategic partnership with Greece.
The ministers agreed to maintain continuous coordination to confront current regional challenges and support efforts aimed at achieving peace, security, stability, and development across the region.
