Egypt’s Foreign Minister Updates al-Burhan on Cairo’s Efforts to End Sudan War

Transitional Sovereign Council Chairman, Gen. Abdel Fattah Al-Burhan, met on Wednesday with Egypt’s Minister of Foreign Affairs and Migration, Ambassador Badr Abdelatty, in the presence of Sudanese Foreign Minister Mohieldin Salem. Minister Salem said the Egyptian minister’s visit comes within the framework of ongoing consultations between the leaderships of both countries to strengthen bilateral relations and expand cooperation. He stressed that Sudan’s “War of Dignity” has obliged all state institutions to perform their roles in full, with diplomatic efforts advancing on the same front as fighters on the ground. He highlighted Egypt’s role in supporting Sudan and standing by its people during the current crisis, noting that both nations would continue working together to address the consequences of a war “imposed on the Sudanese people with foreign backing.” He praised Cairo’s “wise handling” of Sudanese affairs in the interest of the wider region. For his part, Egypt’s foreign minister said he conveyed to Al-Burhan a message of solidarity from Egyptian President Abdel Fattah Al-Sisi, and confirmed that Cairo looks forward to hosting Al-Burhan at the end of the month for the inauguration of the Grand Egyptian Museum. He reiterated Egypt’s commitment to supporting Sudan’s national institutions, particularly the armed forces, and said both countries are determined to deepen cooperation. He affirmed Egypt’s readiness to provide all forms of assistance, including reconstruction of war-damaged areas.
The talks, he added, also covered Egypt’s efforts to end the Sudan war through international frameworks, including the “Quad” mechanism, to push for a humanitarian truce leading to a ceasefire and a Sudanese-owned political process. Al-Burhan, he said, asked him to deliver a message of gratitude to President Al-Sisi for Egypt’s continued support to Sudanese living in their “second home.”
