The meeting aims to build on the outcomes of the Aqaba meetings hosted by Jordan in December 2024 and the Riyadh meetings in January.
It also forms part of broader regional and international efforts to support a comprehensive political process that guarantees the preservation of Syria's stability, unity, and sovereignty and meets the aspirations of the Syrian people.
Envoys from several Gulf nations and Turkey are expected to attend the meeting to discuss security and economic challenges related to rebuilding the country.
Moreover, representatives from the G7 countries — Britain, Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, and the United State — will participate.
A Ministry of Foreign Affairs statement said Abdelatty is expected to meet with other counterparts separately on the sidelines of the meeting to discuss ways to promote bilateral relations and a range of regional issues of mutual concern.
Since the fall of Al-Assad's regime on 8 December, Egypt has consistently reaffirmed its full support for the Syrian people.
The country also expressed hopes that the political transition in Syria will be inclusive, entirely led by Syrians, and free from any external interference.
Syria's 13-year civil war has killed over 500,000 people, displaced millions, and rendered half of the country's hospitals non-operational.
Approximately 1.5 million Syrians reside in Egypt, the second-largest foreign community in the country after Sudanese nationals.
