In a statement on Monday, the Foreign Ministry described the agreement as “an important step toward enhancing regional peace, stability, and cooperation.”
Cairo also praised the efforts of US President Donald Trump in facilitating the deal and resolving the dispute through peaceful means.
The ministry reaffirmed Egypt’s support for diplomacy and dialogue as tools for settling disputes, stressing the need to pursue peaceful resolutions to regional and international conflicts.
The ceasefire follows months of escalating border tensions marked by sporadic clashes and military build-ups along the frontier. The dispute, rooted in longstanding disagreements over demarcation lines and access to key border areas, had raised concerns about wider instability in Southeast Asia.
The US-brokered agreement is expected to open the door to renewed dialogue between the two neighbours and reinforce cooperation within the ASEAN framework.
