أَجْرَى وَزِيرُ الْخارِجِيَّةِ الْمِصْرِيُّ بَدْرُ عَبْدِ الْعاطِي اتِّصالًا هاتِفِيًّا، يَوْمَ السَّبْتِ ٢٢ أَغُسْطُسَ، مَعَ وَزيرِ خارِجِيَّةِ إِيرانَ عَبّاسِ عَراقْجي. وَناقَشَ الْوَزِيرانِ الْوَضْعَ الْحاليَّ فِي الْمِنْطَقَةِ وَالْجُهُودَ الرّامِيَةَ إِلى تَخْفيفِ التَّوَتُّرِ.

وَقالَتِ الْخارِجِيَّةُ الْمِصْرِيَّةُ إِنَّ الْمُحادَثَةَ تَناوَلَتْ تَهْيِئَةَ الظُّرُوفِ لِلْعَوْدَةِ إِلى الدِّبْلُوماسِيَّةِ. وَشَمَلَ ذٰلِكَ الْمُفاوَضاتِ بَيْنَ عُمانَ وَإِيرانَ، وَالعَوْدَةَ إِلى تَنْفيذِ مُذَكَّرَةِ تَفاهُمٍ بَيْنَ إِيرانَ وَالْوِلاياتِ الْمُتَّحِدَةِ وُقِّعَتْ فِي ١٨ يُونْيُو.

وَأَكَّدَ عَبْدُ الْعاطِي ضَرورَةَ حِمايَةِ أَمْنِ دُوَلِ الْخَليجِ وَاسْتِقْرارِها، وَضَمانِ حُرِّيَّةِ الْمِلاحَةِ الدَّوْلِيَّةِ وَسَلامَتِها. وَيُعَدُّ مَضيقُ هُرْمُزَ طَريقًا بَحْرِيًّا مُهِمًّا لِلتِّجارَةِ الدَّوْلِيَّةِ. لِذٰلِكَ، دَعا الْوَزيرُ إِلى مُضاعَفَةِ الْجُهُودِ الدِّبْلُوماسِيَّةِ لِلوُصولِ إِلى تَفاهُماتٍ سِلْمِيَّةٍ.

وَأَضافَتِ الْوِزارَةُ أَنَّ هٰذِهِ الْجُهُودَ يُمْكِنُ أَنْ تُساعِدَ عَلى التَّوَصُّلِ إِلى اتِّفاقٍ شامِلٍ وَمُسْتَدامٍ، وَأَنْ تُعَزِّزَ الْأَمْنَ وَالِاسْتِقْرارَ فِي الْمِنْطَقَةِ. وَلَمْ يُعْلَنْ عَنْ اتِّفاقٍ جَديدٍ بَعْدَ الْمُكالَمَةِ.

Egypt Calls for Stronger Diplomacy in the Region

Egyptian Foreign Minister Badr Abdelatty held a phone call on Saturday, August 22, with Iran’s foreign minister, Abbas Araghchi. The two ministers discussed the current situation in the region and efforts aimed at easing tensions.

Egypt’s Foreign Ministry said that the conversation addressed creating conditions for a return to diplomacy. This included negotiations between Oman and Iran, as well as returning to the implementation of a memorandum of understanding between Iran and the United States that was signed on June 18.

Abdelatty stressed the need to protect the security and stability of Gulf countries and to guarantee the freedom and safety of international navigation. The Strait of Hormuz is an important sea route for international trade. Therefore, he called for stronger diplomatic efforts to reach peaceful understandings.

The ministry added that these efforts could help achieve a comprehensive and sustainable agreement and strengthen security and stability in the region. No new agreement was announced after the call.
