CAIRO – 27 November 2024: Minister of Foreign Affairs, Emigration and Egyptian Expatiates Badr Abdelatty expressed on Wednesday hope that Lebanon ceasefire agreement, that came into effect earlier in the day, would bring stability and security to the brotherly Lebanese people and would preserve the country's territorial integrity.

The top diplomat made the remarks in two phone contacts with Nabieh Berri, Speaker of the Lebanese Parliament, and Najib Mikati, Lebanon’s caretaker Prime Minister.
