Cairo, Egypt – Egyptian Foreign Minister Badr Abdel-Aty held a telephone conversation on Saturday with his Kuwaiti counterpart, Jarrah Jaber Al-Ahmad Al-Sabah. The call focused on the rapidly evolving regional situation and coordinating joint efforts to de-escalate tensions in the region.
Supporting the negotiating track and Gulf concerns

In this context, Minister Abdel-Aty stressed Egypt’s unwavering position that the security concerns of the Gulf Arab states must be taken into account in any future agreement. This is essential to ensure comprehensive regional stability that does not overlook the national security rights of our brothers.
Full solidarity against the “march” attacks

Abdel-Aty reiterated Egypt’s unequivocal condemnation of this “heinous attack.” He also affirmed Cairo’s full solidarity, with all its resources, with the government and people of Kuwait, and with all the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) states, in confronting any attempts to undermine their security and stability.
Abdel-Aati emphasized Egypt’s full support for all sovereign measures taken by Kuwaiti authorities to protect their territory and secure their borders. For his part, the Kuwaiti minister expressed his appreciation for Egypt’s supportive stance.
