He highlighted the results of a conference held in Cairo on July 6 and 7, attended by Sudanese political factions and civic groups, the most important of which, he said, was the recognition of the need to preserve state institutions, provide aid and humanitarian support to Sudan. and neighboring countries, and ensure that responsibility for the political process remains with the Sudanese people.
He also reviewed the progress of Egypt's development projects in Sudan and pledged his country's continuation of these initiatives along with its determination to respond to the country's humanitarian needs.
Abdelatty stressed the importance of donor countries and organizations accelerating the implementation of commitments made during the conferences in Geneva and Paris in June 2023 and April 2024 to support Sudan and neighboring countries hosting Sudanese refugees, to support the UN humanitarian response plan in the country and to help bridge existing funding gaps.
He also discussed with Awad the regional initiatives that have been proposed to help solve the crisis in Sudan and the important and pivotal role played by neighboring countries, especially Egypt, which Abdelatty said is making a concerted effort to help Sudan at this critical time.
Other topics for discussion included broader bilateral ties and ways in which coordination between the countries could be strengthened, along with regional issues of common concern, including the situation in the Horn of Africa, the war in Gaza, security in the Red Sea, the situation in Libya, the Sahel region and The Sahara and the renaissance dam built by Ethiopia on the Blue Nile upstream of Sudan and Egypt.
Awad thanked the Egyptian government for the facilities and services it has provided to the Sudanese people since the beginning of the crisis in his country.
