Minister of Foreign Affairs Badr Abdelatty (L) US President’s Senior Adviser for African, Arab, and Middle Eastern Affairs Massad Boulos (R).
During the call, Abdelatty stressed the importance of resuming dialogue between the United States and Iran to reach understandings that could help contain regional tensions. He also called for diplomacy and political dialogue to prevent a wider escalation in the Middle East, according to the ministry.
The two sides also discussed the Egyptian-US relations, expressing appreciation for the strategic partnership and continued coordination on regional issues of mutual concern.
On Libya, Abdelatty reaffirmed Egypt’s support for the country’s unity and stability, stressing the importance of unifying Libyan national institutions and reaching a comprehensive political settlement through a Libyan-led process that would pave the way for simultaneous presidential and parliamentary elections.
Regarding Sudan, Abdelatty underscored the need to preserve the country’s unity and territorial integrity, support its national institutions, and reject the establishment of parallel entities amid the ongoing conflict.
He also called for a humanitarian truce as a step toward a lasting ceasefire to allow the delivery of aid and ease civilian suffering.
The call further addressed the Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam (GERD), developments in the Horn of Africa, and security in the Red Sea region.
FM Abdelatty reiterated Egypt’s rejection of unilateral measures regarding the dam, describing water security as an “existential issue” for Egypt and stressing the importance of respecting international law and the sovereignty of states in the region.
Boulos praised Egypt’s role in supporting security and stability in the Middle East and Africa and commended Cairo’s efforts to contain regional crises, the ministry said.
Egypt has repeatedly called for diplomatic solutions to regional conflicts while intensifying coordination with international and regional partners over the wars in Gaza and Sudan, instability in Libya, and disputes surrounding the GERD, which Cairo says threatens its share of Nile water.
Egypt has also stepped up diplomatic coordination with the United States and regional actors amid escalating conflicts and political tensions across the Middle East and Africa.
Cairo has played a central mediating role in regional crises, particularly the Gaza war, while also seeking to contain instability in Libya and Sudan and to protect security in the Red Sea and the Horn of Africa.
Egypt and the United States maintain a longstanding strategic partnership focused on regional security, military cooperation, and crisis mediation, with Washington viewing Cairo as a key regional interlocutor.
