Western nations, including the United States, Canada, and Ireland, have kept their travel warnings for Egypt unchanged following a diplomatic push by Cairo to demonstrate its internal stability, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation and Emigrants said on Wednesday. The ministry intensified communications with Western partners to argue against stricter travel advice during the current regional military escalation. In a separate move to manage regional volatility, Foreign Minister Badr Abdelatty held a series of phone calls with the foreign ministers of Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Oman, and Syria. Abdelatty spoke with Prince Faisal bin Farhan of Saudi Arabia, UAE Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs Sheikh Abdullah bin Zayed, Omani Foreign Minister Badr bin Hamad Al-Busaidi, and Syrian Foreign Minister Assad al-Shaibani. “Arab national security is an indivisible whole,” Abdelatty said, according to ministry spokesperson Tamim Khallaf.
