Egypt’s Prime Minister Mostafa Madbouly reiterated Egypt's firm stance on supporting the Palestinian people's legitimate rights, particularly their right to establish an independent state based on the borders of 4 June 1967, during a meeting with United Nations Secretary-General António Guterres.

The meeting, held on the sidelines of the 38th AU Summit in Addis Ababa, highlighted Egypt's unwavering commitment to a two-state solution as a pathway to lasting peace in the Middle East. Madbouly emphasized that the establishment of a Palestinian state with East Jerusalem as its capital is essential for achieving stability and security in the region.

The Prime Minister praised the UN's efforts in supporting peace initiatives and urged the international community to take decisive actions to uphold international resolutions. He called for renewed international engagement to revive peace talks and ensure justice for the Palestinian people.

Guterres, in turn, expressed his appreciation for Egypt's pivotal role in promoting regional stability and its continuous efforts to mediate peace in the Middle East. He reiterated the United Nations' commitment to supporting a just and lasting solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.

The discussions also covered regional security issues and the need for international cooperation to address humanitarian challenges in conflict zones. Both leaders emphasized the importance of dialogue and diplomacy in resolving disputes and achieving sustainable peace.

Madbouly's reaffirmation of Egypt's position underscores the nation's strategic role in Middle Eastern diplomacy and its historical support for Palestinian rights. The meeting with the UN chief reinforces Egypt's dedication to international law and its active involvement in pursuing a comprehensive and just solution to the conflict.

This high-level dialogue not only strengthens Egypt's diplomatic ties with the United Nations but also reiterates its solidarity with the Palestinian people and commitment to regional peace and security.
