Egyptian Foreign Minister Badr Abdelatty called for the rapid deployment of an international stabilisation force in Gaza to ensure a lasting ceasefire, emphasising the need to implement U.N. Security Council Resolution 2803.
Speaking during a meeting with Gunther Sautter, the National Security Advisor at the German Chancellery, Abdelatty outlined Egypt’s mediation efforts over the past two years to end the conflict in the enclave.
He briefed Sautter on preparations for the upcoming “International Conference for Early Recovery and Reconstruction of the Gaza Strip,” expressing Cairo’s hope for active German participation in rebuilding infrastructure and supporting relief efforts, Foreign Ministry spokesman Tamim Khallaf said in a statement.
During the visit, the two sides launched a new mechanism for political consultation at the foreign ministerial level, a move Abdelatty said reflected the depth of bilateral ties.
On the economic front, the minister invited German companies to increase investment in Egypt, specifically highlighting the localisation of the automotive industry. He pointed to government incentives available to foreign investors and the country’s infrastructure improvements.
The discussions also covered cooperation in energy, renewables, and climate change, as well as the migration of skilled labour, which Abdelatty described as an opportunity for mutual benefit.
