The visit follows recent ministerial visits between both countries and underscores Egypt's support for Sudan, a statement by the Egyptian Ministry of Foreign Affairs read.
The statement added that Abdelatty is scheduled to hold a series of meetings with senior Sudanese officials.
Two weeks earlier, Sudanese counterpart Ali Youssef Al-Sharif visited Cairo.
During his visit, the Egyptian minister stressed Cairo’s support for Sudan and its keenness to stand by its brotherly nation in this critical circumstance.
The crisis in Sudan, triggered by a brutal war between the Sudanese army and the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces, has created what the UN called "the world's largest displacement crisis."
Since April 2023, tens of thousands of Sudanese have been killed and 12 million uprooted due to the ongoing war between both sides.
Egypt has become the largest host country for Sudanese refugees fleeing the conflict in Sudan.
This war has left Sudan grappling with one of the world's largest humanitarian crises, with over 24.6 million people, about half the population, facing acute food insecurity.
