Saudi Foreign Minister Prince Faisal bin Farhan bin Abdullah held telephone talks on Monday with his Egyptian counterpart Badr Abdelatty.

Discussions focused on the latest developments in Syria.

A statement from the Egyptian Foreign Ministry said Abdelatty stressed “the importance of supporting the Syrian state during this critical moment in Syria’s history.”

He underscored the need to respect its sovereignty and territorial integrity, and to empower its national institutions.

He called for the adoption of a comprehensive political process, led by the Syrian people, so that stability can be restored throughout their country.

The FMs also discussed the latest developments in Gaza, with Abdellaty briefing Prince Faisal on Egypt’s “intense efforts with all concerned parties to reach an immediate and sustainable ceasefire and to ensure the unimpeded delivery of humanitarian aid.”
