Egypt's Prime Minister, Dr. Mostafa Madbouly, stated that there is international recognition of Egypt's role in mediation efforts and peace initiatives in the Middle East. He made these comments following meetings with world leaders on the sidelines of the 81st United Nations General Assembly in New York. According to Madbouly, these interactions reflected the appreciation for Egypt's handling of regional issues. He emphasized that Egypt's consistent and clear stance on regional matters supports its influential role.

Madbouly highlighted that Egypt's participation in the UN General Assembly meetings demonstrated the country's significant diplomatic engagement. He participated in several high-level meetings, including one on enhancing multilateral action for security and peace. Additionally, Madbouly held meetings with various leaders and officials who are part of the General Assembly. These interactions covered multiple regional and international files, particularly focusing on developments in the Middle East.

The Prime Minister's statements come at a time when Egypt has been actively involved in mediation efforts in the region. Madbouly noted that countries engaging with Egypt understand that its publicly stated positions align with its actual actions and practices. This consistency, he added, contributes to Egypt's continued role in mediation and crisis management in the region.

During the UN General Assembly, Madbouly participated in a summit on Palestine and the two-state solution. He emphasized that Egypt's vision for achieving peace in the Middle East is tied to a political settlement that leads to the establishment of a Palestinian state based on the 1967 borders, with East Jerusalem as its capital. This stance reflects Egypt's longstanding commitment to supporting a peaceful resolution to the Palestinian issue.

Madbouly also underscored Egypt's ongoing efforts on both the political and diplomatic fronts to support mediation and peace. He stressed that Egypt remains committed to its declared positions on regional and international issues. These efforts are part of Egypt's broader strategy to contribute to regional stability and peace.

The recognition of Egypt's role in mediation and peace efforts is attributed to the country's consistent engagement in regional diplomacy. Madbouly pointed out that Egypt's actions during the UN General Assembly meetings showcased its dedication to addressing regional challenges. The Prime Minister's interactions with international leaders highlighted Egypt's influential voice in regional affairs.

Egypt's President, Abdel Fattah El-Sisi, has been a key figure in these mediation efforts. Madbouly's statements reflect the country's commitment to leveraging its diplomatic influence to promote peace and stability in the Middle East. With its active role in regional diplomacy, Egypt continues to be a significant player in international efforts to address pressing regional issues.
