Foreign ministers of Egypt, Türkiye, and Pakistan held separate phone calls to discuss their efforts to facilitate direct negotiations between the United States and Iran, according to statements by the Egyptian Foreign Ministry on Friday.
The discussions focused on the latest developments in regional escalations and measures to promote diplomacy and dialogue. Egyptian Foreign Minister Badr Abdelatty urged the mobilization of regional and international efforts to contain tensions, stressing that calm, de-escalation, and diplomatic solutions are the only viable ways to address the ongoing crisis.
Abdelatty expressed hope that the joint efforts of Egypt, Türkiye, and Pakistan would initiate a gradual stabilization process aimed at ending the war.
Meanwhile, the Egyptian minister also spoke with U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio late Thursday regarding the regional military escalation and its effects on the global economy.
Abdelatty called for economic support and cash liquidity measures to mitigate the negative impacts on the Egyptian economy.
