The visit comes amid a temporary two-week ceasefire in the US–Israeli war on Iran, which Cairo welcomed early on Wednesday.
FM Abdelatty is set to hold high-level meetings in the Gulf state as part of ongoing consultations on the current regional situation, the ministry said.
It noted that the visit reflects Egypt’s longstanding support for Kuwait and other Gulf countries, as well as its commitment to solidarity with Arab partners during a sensitive regional period.
Over the past weeks, Abdelatty has visited several Arab and Gulf capitals, including Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Qatar, and Jordan, as part of Egypt's efforts to de-escalate Middle East tensions, safeguard regional stability, and align positions.
Egypt has been part of a core group of countries that helped mediate the ceasefire, as regional actors moved quickly to contain the escalating conflict and prevent a wider Middle East war.
Cairo has also worked with Pakistan and Turkey to keep communication channels open between Washington and Tehran, relaying proposals and helping narrow differences on key de-escalation steps.
Talks have made limited but notable progress, with Iran submitting a counter-proposal that US officials view as a cautiously positive signal despite major differences.
A central part of the mediation track is the Islamabad process, where Pakistan has hosted and coordinated efforts toward a phased agreement. Talks are expected to continue through this channel, including potential in-person US–Iran negotiations on Friday, which would mark a significant step toward moving from indirect mediation to direct dialogue.
The mediation efforts have focused on confidence-building measures, including safeguarding freedom of navigation in the Strait of Hormuz and preventing disruptions to global energy supplies, as part of a broader effort to secure a sustained ceasefire followed by political negotiations.
Egypt’s diplomatic position has consistently focused on de-escalation, respect for state sovereignty, and rejecting any expansion of the conflict into Gulf territories, which Cairo considers integral to Arab national security.
In recent days, President Abdel-Fattah El-Sisi has intensified contacts with regional and international counterparts, underscoring the urgency of containing the conflict and warning of the economic and security consequences of further escalation.
FM Abdelatty has also held several phone calls and meetings with counterparts and international envoys, including the US special envoy, as part of a coordinated diplomatic push to sustain momentum toward de-escalation.
US President Donald Trump announced the two-week ceasefire just hours before a deadline he had set for potential large-scale strikes on Iranian infrastructure, framing the move as a temporary window to allow diplomacy to proceed and avoid a broader confrontation.
Iran, for its part, has responded cautiously, signalling conditional acceptance of the pause while insisting that any ceasefire must lead to a comprehensive and permanent settlement.
Iranian officials have continued to press for guarantees, including sanctions relief, while remaining engaged in indirect negotiations through mediators.
The two-week suspension of military operations is widely seen as a fragile diplomatic opening, shaped by mediation efforts led by Egypt and its partners, aimed at turning the pause into a broader ceasefire and a path toward a negotiated resolution.
