The calls come amid growing international efforts to contain multiple regional crises, including the war in Sudan, political deadlock in Libya, tensions in the Horn of Africa, and concerns over the future of negotiations between Washington and Tehran, the foreign ministry said.
During his conversation with Boulos, Abdelatty stressed the need to preserve Sudan's unity and territorial integrity, support its national institutions, and reject the establishment of any parallel entities.
He also called for the launch of a Sudanese-owned political process to end the conflict. He emphasized the importance of securing a humanitarian truce as a first step toward a sustainable ceasefire that would facilitate the delivery of humanitarian assistance and ease civilian suffering.
On Libya, Abdelatty reaffirmed Egypt's support for the country's unity and stability, stressing the importance of unifying national institutions and reaching a comprehensive political settlement through a Libyan-led process that would pave the way for simultaneous presidential and parliamentary elections at the earliest opportunity.
Discussing the Horn of Africa, the foreign minister said Egypt remained committed to preserving security and stability in the region, which Cairo considers a direct extension of its national security.
He underscored the importance of supporting state institutions, safeguarding the sovereignty and territorial integrity of regional countries, and rejecting policies that undermine stability.
Abdelatty also raised water security, describing it as an existential issue for Egypt and stressing the importance of respecting international law and avoiding unilateral measures.
In a separate phone call with Kallas, the EU's High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy, Abdelatty reviewed developments in ongoing US-Iran negotiations and the impact of recent regional tensions on the diplomatic process.
He briefed the EU official on Egypt's efforts, undertaken in coordination with regional partners, to reduce tensions and prevent further escalation, emphasizing the importance of maintaining the diplomatic track to preserve regional security and stability.
Kallas praised Egypt's role in supporting de-escalation efforts and facilitating a swift agreement between Washington and Tehran, according to the foreign ministry.
She also expressed the European Union's interest in maintaining close coordination and consultations with Egypt within the framework of the Egypt-EU Comprehensive Strategic Partnership.
The calls with Massad Boulos and Kaja Kallas came less than 24 hours after President Abdel-Fattah El-Sisi hosted Eritrean President Isaias Afwerki in Cairo, where the two leaders held extensive talks on the Horn of Africa, Sudan, Red Sea security, and broader regional stability.
The timing underscores Egypt's ongoing diplomatic efforts to coordinate with regional and international partners on a series of interconnected crises spanning Sudan and Libya, the Horn of Africa, and the Red Sea.
The diplomatic contacts also came amid heightened regional tensions following a new flare-up involving Iran, Israel, and the United States that has threatened to derail ongoing US-Iran negotiations.
Over the past week, US and Iranian forces exchanged strikes in and around the Gulf after Washington said it targeted Iranian coastal radar sites in response to Iranian drone activity near maritime shipping routes, prompting Iranian missile and drone attacks toward Gulf states hosting US forces.
The situation escalated further over the weekend when Israel and Iran exchanged fresh attacks, marking the most serious confrontation between the two sides since an April ceasefire.
US President Donald Trump subsequently intervened to restore calm, urging both sides to halt military operations while negotiations with Tehran continue.
