In a recent diplomatic call, Egypt’s Foreign Minister Badr Abdelatty connected with China’s Foreign Minister Wang Yi to address the escalating situation in the Middle East. Both leaders expressed grave concerns that the region could descend into widespread instability, posing risks to the security of neighboring countries. 😟
Abdelatty emphasized how the international community is deeply worried about the ongoing conflict and condemned what he described as violations of international law following recent actions against Iran. He reiterated the urgent need for a political resolution to defuse the tensions.
Wang Yi, who also serves as a member of the Political Bureau of the Communist Party of China Central Committee, stressed that the current hostilities have only escalated the crisis. He urged all involved parties—especially those taking aggressive actions—to prioritize the safety and interests of local populations by ceasing hostilities and de-escalating tensions, so that dialogue and negotiations can resume promptly.
The Chinese FM also lauded Egypt’s leadership in rallying 20 Arab and Islamic countries to issue a joint statement calling for an immediate ceasefire and renewed negotiations on the Iranian nuclear issue. This collective diplomatic effort signals a rising trend in international cooperation and dialogue, a message that resonates deeply with young, socially conscious audiences across South and Southeast Asia who value peace and global unity. ✌️
