During the meeting, Abdelatty reiterated Egypt’s firm position on the need to preserve Syria’s unity and territorial integrity, support the institutions of the national state, and ensure the full restoration of its sovereignty over its lands while safeguarding the resources of the Syrian people. 

He stressed that a political process inclusive of all components of the Syrian people remains the cornerstone for achieving sustainable stability.
