Muscat: The Arab Republic of Egypt expressed support for the Sultanate of Oman's initiative to host discussions between the Islamic Republic of Iran and the United States of America. Egypt praised Oman for its ongoing and constructive role in promoting political and peaceful solutions amid the significant regional challenges and its efforts to mitigate political tensions.
According to Oman News Agency, Egypt emphasized its full backing for Oman's sincere efforts and all initiatives aimed at achieving political solutions through dialogue. This stance aligns with Egypt's longstanding belief that military solutions are ineffective for the crises facing the region and that escalating tensions only worsen the situation.
Egypt acknowledged the cooperative approach adopted by both the US and Iran to prioritize dialogue and negotiation in their quest for a political settlement. This approach is expected to facilitate solutions that contribute to reducing regional tensions.
Egypt anticipates that the negotiations will lead to an agreement that addresses the concerns of both parties while ensuring the security and stability of neighboring countries in the Arabian Gulf region. Egypt hopes these talks will mark the beginning of a new phase characterized by de-escalation and reduced tensions across the region.
