Egyptian Minister of Foreign Affairs Badr Abdelatty and his Djiboutian counterpart Abdelkader Hussein Omar affirmed their rejection of any unilateral actions that compromise state sovereignty or regional stability during a phone call on Sunday focusing on security in the Horn of Africa.

Foreign Ministry spokesperson Tamim Khalaf stated that the two diplomats exchanged views on regional security and political developments. Abdelatty reiterated Egypt’s stance on supporting national state institutions, preserving the unity and territorial integrity of nations, and rejecting attempts to impose parallel entities that contradict these principles.

Both ministers stressed the need to continue coordination on various international and regional issues to establish peace and security across the African continent, with a specific focus on the Horn of Africa and Red Sea security.

During the discussions, Abdelatty praised the momentum in bilateral relations and highlighted a mutual eagerness to enhance cooperation across various sectors, particularly in energy, logistics, ports, maritime connectivity, and infrastructure.

The Egyptian minister emphasised the importance of executing joint projects to increase bilateral trade and encourage investment. He also noted the need to support the participation of the Egyptian private sector in the Djiboutian market and to boost technical cooperation through capacity-building courses organised by Egyptian institutions.
