Abdelatty made the remarks at a meeting held on the sidelines of a ministerial session of the United Nations Security Council (UNSC) focused on developments in Sudan, according to Egypt’s foreign ministry.
The meeting brought together senior officials from several countries and international organizations involved in the Sudan file, including UAE Minister of State at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Sheikh Shakhboot bin Nahyan Al Nahyan; UK Foreign Secretary Yvette Cooper; Senior Adviser to the US President on Arab and African Affairs, Massad Boulos; the European Union (EU) Special Representative for the Horn of Africa, Annette Weber; and Permanent Representative of Saudi Arabia to the UN, Abdulaziz Alwasil; alongside other senior officials.
Abdelatty cautioned against attempts to establish parallel political structures in Sudan, saying such moves would undermine the country’s territorial integrity and run counter to positions taken by the African Union (AU) and the League of Arab States.
He added that the conflict in Sudan poses a serious threat to international peace and security and has direct implications for Egypt’s national security, referring to a December 2025 presidential statement emphasizing that Egypt will not allow further fragmentation of the Sudanese state.
The minister reiterated Egypt’s support for efforts to end the fighting, calling for an immediate humanitarian truce and increased international assistance for civilians affected by the war.
He also urged stepped-up diplomatic efforts toward a political settlement that preserves Sudan’s unity and stability, warning that the continued expansion of the conflict risks deeper regional instability.
