Abdelatty Invites Dar for Bilateral Visit to Egypt

Egyptian Foreign Minister Badr Abdelatty has invited Pakistan’s Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Ishaq Dar to visit Egypt, giving a fresh push to high-level contact between the two countries.

The invitation came during a telephone call on Sunday, when the two ministers exchanged views on Egypt-Pakistan bilateral relations as well as regional and international developments. Abdelatty asked Dar to “hold a bilateral visit to Egypt at his earliest convenience,” according to a statement from Pakistan’s Foreign Office.

The ministers also reaffirmed their commitment to remaining “engaged and involved” in regional security matters. They agreed to meet on the sidelines of the United Nations General Assembly this month, providing another opportunity for discussions on security and broader regional issues.

The proposed visit follows Abdelatty’s official two-day trip to Pakistan last November, undertaken at Dar’s invitation. During that visit, the Egyptian foreign minister met Field Marshal Asim Munir, the Chief of Defence Forces and Chief of the Army Staff, at General Headquarters in Rawalpindi. Their discussions included defence and security cooperation, military exchanges and training collaboration.
