The spokesman said the same position applies to the current crisis between Russia and Ukraine.

“Egypt is connected by very good relations to all parties of the crisis, whether they are direct, which are Russia, Ukraine and NATO countries, or indirect, which are European countries, the European Union, and the US,” the spokesman said.

Egypt has been calling for an end to the Russia-Ukraine war through peaceful political means.

Egypt has been coordinating with international partners on the repercussions of the war to restore international stability and security.
