Minister of Foreign Affairs Badr Abdelatty and his Omani counterpart Badr Al Busaidi have called for prioritising diplomatic solutions while addressing the Iranian nuclear file to achieve regional security and stability. During talks in Cairo on Tuesday, both sides emphasised the necessity to maintain the ceasefire between Iran and Israel to reduce regional tensions. They also addressed the developments in the Gaza Strip, where Abdelatty underscored the need to resume the ceasefire in Gaza, secure the release of captives and detainees, and ensure the delivery of humanitarian aid into the strip. He also highlighted Egypt's ongoing preparations to host the International Conference for Early Recovery and Reconstruction in Gaza once a ceasefire agreement is reached, according to a foreign ministry statement. Additionally, both sides reaffirmed their full rejection of the displacement of Palestinians from their land, urging more efforts to mobilise international support for the Arab plan for Gaza reconstruction and the two-state solution. Furthermore, the Egyptian and Omani ministers also addressed the latest developments in Yemen, Syria, Sudan, and the Horn of Africa, where Abdelatty commended Oman's foreign policy for its consistent approach of wisdom. Abdelatty also valued the support provided by Oman for Egypt's nominations in regional and international forums and organisations, including the nomination of Khaled El-Enany for the position of Director-General of UNESCO. For his part, the Omani FM praised the depth of Egypt-Oman bilateral ties and partnership in trade, culture, education, youth, and sports sectors, affirming Oman's support for preserving Egypt's water security. Meanwhile, Abdelatty and Al Busaidi held the 16th session of the Egyptian-Omani Joint Committee, during which seven memoranda of understanding and executive programmes were signed between the two sides in various areas.
