Egyptian Foreign Minister Badr Abdelatty received Qatari Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Mohammed bin Abdulrahman Al Thani in Cairo on Sunday for talks focused on strengthening bilateral relations and reviewing key regional developments.
According to Foreign Ministry spokesman Tamim Khallaf, the meeting explored ways to expand cooperation between Egypt and Qatar across multiple sectors, with both sides stressing the importance of building on the positive momentum in relations between the two countries.
The discussions also covered regional issues, including the ongoing negotiations between the United States and Iran. The two ministers reviewed Egyptian and Qatari efforts to support the diplomatic process and help bridge differences between the parties, with the aim of reaching understandings that would reduce tensions, end the conflict and restore regional stability.
The ministers also examined proposals currently under discussion as part of a potential agreement between Washington and Tehran.
On the Palestinian issue, Abdelatty and Al Thani stressed the importance of implementing the commitments of the first phase of President Donald Trump’s peace plan, including the delivery of humanitarian aid and early recovery supplies, rehabilitation of infrastructure and hospitals, and a gradual Israeli withdrawal from the Gaza Strip.
They further underlined the need to enable the proposed National Committee for Gaza Administration to carry out its temporary responsibilities from within the territory, alongside the deployment of an international stabilisation force to monitor the ceasefire.
Both ministers reiterated support for the Palestinian people’s right to self-determination and the establishment of an independent Palestinian state based on the June 4, 1967 borders.
The meeting concluded with an agreement to maintain close consultation and coordination on regional issues in support of shared interests and Arab national security.
