CAIRO, Aug 30 (MENA) – Minister of Foreign Affairs, Emigration and Expatriates Badr Abdelatty has conducted a series of intensive contacts in recent days, under the directives of President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi to support deescalation efforts, with his counterparts from the European E3 countries, as well as with officials from Iran, the US, and the Director General of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA).
The move aims to contribute to the resumption of negotiations between Iran and the US on the Iranian nuclear file, bridge differences among the concerned parties, and work toward a sustainable settlement that takes into account the interests of all sides, contributes to deescalation, restores trust and fosters a climate conducive to regional security and stability.
These efforts fall within the framework of Egypt’s intensive diplomacy, conducted in coordination with relevant stakeholders, to help reach understandings that narrow gaps, open opportunities for dialogue and diplomatic solutions and achieve a consensual settlement of the Iranian nuclear issue.
The objective is to prevent escalation and ease the crisis, particularly in light of the recent activation of the mechanism to reimpose UN sanctions through the Security Council. (MENA)
