Egypt calls for a unified Syrian-led political solution

Egypt’s Foreign Ministry stressed the urgency of a Syrian-owned political process free from external interference — aligned with UN Resolution 2254 — to safeguard the country’s unity and stability, a statement from the ministry read. Egypt pledged to support efforts for a political resolution that ends exploitation of the crisis, paves the way for reconstruction, and ensures the safe return of refugees and displaced Syrians.

Foreign Minister Badr Abdelatty also held a phone call yesterday with his Turkish counterpart Hakan Fidan to discuss developments in Syria, according to a separate statement. The two officials underscored the importance of a Syrian-led political process free from external interference to safeguard the country’s sovereignty and territorial integrity. They also called for intensified regional and international efforts to stabilize Syria, ensure its unity, and alleviate the humanitarian suffering of its people.
