Meeting Pakistan's Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Mohammad Ishaq Dar, Abdelatty discussed expanding political, economic, trade and investment ties and agreed on the need to convene the fourth session of the Egyptian-Pakistani Joint Ministerial Commission.
Abdelatty also said Egypt hopes to complete procedures for launching the Egyptian-Pakistani Business Council to boost business ties and encourage Pakistani investment, particularly in the Suez Canal Economic Zone (SCZone).
The two ministers also discussed regional tensions, stressing the importance of implementing the memorandum of understanding (MoU) signed between the United States and Iran on 18 June to help sustain de-escalation and support regional stability.
They also called for continued coordination through the Regional Four (R4) mechanism to support US-Iran negotiations and encourage a return to diplomacy.
In separate talks with Saudi Foreign Minister Prince Faisal bin Farhan, Abdelatty discussed bilateral ties and regional developments, including the situation in Gaza, Iran, the Red Sea, Sudan, and Yemen.
The Egyptian foreign minister called for convening the inaugural meeting of the Egyptian-Saudi Supreme Coordination Council and the next round of political consultations between the two countries' foreign ministers.
He also urged deeper economic cooperation in transport, maritime connectivity, logistics, energy, and trade.
On Gaza, the two ministers stressed the need for greater Arab and Islamic coordination and renewed efforts to push Israel to fulfil its obligations under the roadmap leading to the second phase of US President Donald Trump's peace plan, according to Egypt's foreign ministry.
Abdelatty also met Palestinian Minister of State for Foreign Affairs and Expatriates Varsen Aghabekian Shahin, reaffirming Egypt's support for Palestinian statehood and rejecting what he described as Israeli annexation, forced displacement and violations in occupied East Jerusalem and at Islamic and Christian holy sites.
The ministers reviewed developments in Gaza following the announcement of the roadmap for implementing the US peace plan.
Abdelatty said all phases of the roadmap should be implemented, humanitarian aid should continue flowing into Gaza, and efforts should continue towards establishing an independent Palestinian state on the 4 June 1967 borders with East Jerusalem as its capital.
In talks with Algerian Foreign Minister Ahmed Attaf, Abdelatty discussed bilateral cooperation and regional developments, with Libya featuring prominently.
The two ministers agreed on the importance of preserving Libya's unity, sovereignty, and territorial integrity, supporting its national institutions and advancing a Libyan-led political process.
Abdelatty also called for continued coordination among Libya's neighbouring countries and building on the Tripartite Neighbouring Countries Mechanism to support stability in Libya and the wider region.
He also welcomed the outcomes of the ninth session of the Egyptian-Algerian Joint High Committee held in Cairo last November.
