The meeting was held on the sidelines of the 82nd regular session of the United Nations General Assembly. Madbouly emphasized that everyone shares the same noble goals of promoting peace, stability, and sustainable development, but achieving these goals has become more challenging than ever due to the increasing number of conflicts worldwide.
Madbouly highlighted that poverty, inequality, and the challenges hindering the achievement of sustainable development goals remain significant obstacles to prosperity and international stability. He stressed the need for collective efforts to focus on preventing and resolving conflicts. The Prime Minister noted that, in the past, some parties have resorted to unilateral actions in response to potential conflicts, overlooking the benefits of diplomacy.
The Egyptian Prime Minister pointed out that the root causes of conflicts, including poverty, inequality, and weak development, have not been adequately addressed. He emphasized the need to redirect the capabilities of the international financial system to achieve greater justice and better reflect the interests and needs of Global South countries. Madbouly also stressed that the multilateral international system must remain at the forefront of these efforts.
Madbouly noted that the United Nations has a unique position that enables it to provide vital assistance in achieving common goals, provided it is adequately empowered to fulfill its mandate. He called for seizing every opportunity to revitalize the multilateral system, fulfilling responsibilities by providing necessary resources, demonstrating political will, and uniting behind common goals.
