Abdelatty conveyed the greetings of President Abdel-Fattah El-Sisi to his Slovenian counterpart and praised the friendship and mutual understanding that characterize relations between Egypt and Slovenia.
During the meeting held on the sidelines of the Bled Strategic Forum, he emphasized Cairo’s commitment to building on recent progress and expanding cooperation across multiple fields.
A Foreign Ministry statement said talks focused on strengthening economic and investment ties, with Abdelatty highlighting Egypt’s incentives for investors and its strategic location as a gateway to African markets.
The two sides also discussed promising areas of collaboration, including renewable energy, artificial intelligence, and digitalization.
On regional issues, Egypt’s top diplomat briefed the Slovenian president on Cairo’s intensive efforts to secure a ceasefire in Gaza and ease humanitarian suffering.
He commended Slovenia’s principled support for Palestinian rights, including its recognition of the State of Palestine, which he called a clear reflection of international law and human rights values.
Abdelatty also expressed appreciation for Slovenia’s support for Egypt within European Union institutions and welcomed its balanced positions on regional and international issues of mutual concern.
For her part, President Musar conveyed her greetings to President El-Sisi and praised Egypt’s vital and constructive role in the Middle East.
She noted the heavy responsibilities Cairo shoulders in managing complex regional files, foremost among them the Palestinian question.
The Slovenian leader also expressed her desire to continue strengthening bilateral relations across diverse sectors to serve the interests of both countries.
Abdelatty engaged in heavy diplomatic activity on the sidelines of the Forum and took part in a panel titled “Reviving Leadership and Multilateralism in an Era of Fragmented Conflicts”.
During the panel, he stated that reviving multilateralism requires overhauling the UN Security Council (UNSC) to secure genuine representation from the Arab, African, and Islamic communities, insisting that the veto must no longer be a privilege of five states—either extend it to new members on equal terms or abolish it altogether.
The Bled Strategic Forum, launched in 2006, has evolved into a premier international platform for discussing global challenges and strategies for a more stable and sustainable world.
This year’s Forum — the 20th edition — is being held on 1-2 September, bringing together more than 2,000 participants from over 50 countries, including world leaders, policymakers, and international experts.
