Egypt's recent address at the United Nations General Assembly conveyed significant messages reflecting the country's stance on regional and international issues. According to Mahmoud Hussein Taher, Deputy Chairman of the Communications and Information Technology Committee in the Egyptian Parliament, the address underscored Egypt's commitment to upholding international law and rejecting double standards. Taher highlighted the importance of these messages in maintaining global stability.
The address by Egyptian Prime Minister Mostafa Madbouly emphasized that water security is a vital issue for Egypt, not open to negotiation. This stance is rooted in protecting Egypt's legitimate rights and interests while promoting cooperation and integration regarding transboundary water resources. Taher noted that development should not come at the expense of other nations' rights and interests.
The Palestinian issue was a focal point in Egypt's address, with a strong emphasis on rejecting any attempts to displace the Palestinian people from their land. Egypt called for a ceasefire, ensuring humanitarian aid delivery, and transitioning to reconstruction. This approach aims to pave the way for a genuine political process leading to the establishment of an independent Palestinian state, in line with international legitimacy.
Egypt's perspective on regional security was presented as part of a comprehensive vision, stressing that a nation's security cannot be achieved at the expense of its neighbors. This vision advocates for respecting state sovereignty, territorial integrity, and supporting national institutions as the foundation for stability. Taher pointed out that addressing regional crises as isolated incidents is no longer sufficient.
The address also touched upon the future of technology and artificial intelligence, emphasizing the need for developing countries to benefit from technological advancements. Egypt highlighted the importance of establishing international governance frameworks that protect privacy, promote transparency and accountability, and support technology transfer and national capacity building.
Taher concluded that Egypt's messages at the UN General Assembly reflect a commitment to linking international system reform with development, security, and stability. He stressed that Egypt continues to play a role in supporting international cooperation, political solutions, and defending the interests of developing countries.
The Egyptian Parliament's Communications and Information Technology Committee Deputy Chairman reiterated that Egypt seeks a more just and effective international system.
