Speaking at the expanded ministerial meeting on Syria held in Riyadh, Egyptian Foreign Minister Badr Abdel Aty stated, "There must be no harboring of any terrorist elements on Syrian soil, as this could represent a threat or provocation to any regional countries." He urged the international community to unite to prevent Syria from becoming a source of instability in the region. 

In a statement issued by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, spokesperson Tamim Khilaf highlighted that Abdel Aty emphasized Egypt's commitment to maintaining Syria's unity, territorial integrity, and sovereignty. The minister also underscored the need to support Syria’s national institutions to enhance their capacity to serve the Syrian people. 

Abdel Aty called for the adoption of a Syrian-led and Syrian-owned comprehensive political process that includes all segments and factions of Syrian society without the exclusion of any political or social groups to guarantee the success of the transitional phase.
