Egyptian Foreign Minister Badr Abdelatty stressed the importance of diplomatic solutions and dialogue to achieve stability in the Middle East during a discussion session at Chatham House in London on Wednesday.
The session took place as part of Abdelatty’s official visit to the United Kingdom, where he outlined Egypt’s position on the rapidly evolving developments in the Middle East and the growing regional and international challenges facing the region.
During the discussion, the Egyptian foreign minister said the Middle East is passing through a highly sensitive phase marked by complex crises and unprecedented tensions. He warned that military solutions would not bring security or stability, arguing instead that continued escalation would deepen conflicts and prolong instability across the region.
Abdelatty highlighted the dangers posed by rising regional tensions and their impact on international security, global energy markets, freedom of navigation, and worldwide supply chains.
He stressed the need for coordinated international efforts to reduce escalation and prioritize diplomacy and dialogue as the only path toward sustainable security and long-term regional stability.
The minister also reviewed Egypt’s diplomatic efforts with regional and international partners aimed at supporting the ongoing US-Iran negotiation track and containing tensions in the region.
Abdelatty reaffirmed Egypt’s firm rejection of any violations targeting the sovereignty or stability of Arab states, emphasizing Cairo’s commitment to supporting efforts to contain regional crises through coordination with Arab and international partners.
In this context, he referred to recent visits by President Abdel Fattah El-Sisi to Gulf countries, describing them as part of broader consultations aimed at strengthening Arab coordination in response to regional challenges.
The foreign minister reiterated Egypt’s longstanding position that Gulf security remains an integral part of Egyptian national security.
