During his address to the UN General Assembly, Egypt’s Foreign Minister emphasized the need for permanent seats for Africa and Arab nations on the UN Security Council.
“We cannot accept that Africa and Arab states currently lack permanent representation on the Security Council and the associated privileges,” Badr Ahmed Mohamed Abdelatty stated.
He reaffirmed support for the Sirte Declaration and the Ezulwini Consensus, aiming to rectify the historical injustices faced by Africa.
Abdelatty also called for a ceasefire in Gaza, as the conflict approaches its 12th month, asserting that ending the fighting is a top priority for his government. He urged for the urgent provision of medical and humanitarian aid to civilians in the region, as the humanitarian situation continues to worsen.
