(MENAFN- Kuwait News Agency (KUNA)) CAIRO, Oct 30 (KUNA) -- Egyptian Foreign Minister Badr Abdelatty discussed the deteriorating security and humanitarian situation in Darfur, particularly in Al-Fasher western Sudan, with US Presidential Senior Advisor for Arab and African Affairs Massad Boulos, and UN Under-Secretary-General for Humanitarian Affairs Tom Fletcher.
In a press statement on Thursday, the Egyptian Foreign Ministry said that these discussions took place during two separate phone calls Abdelattty received from Boulos and Fletcher.
During the first call, Boulos addressed recent developments and US efforts within the framework of the Quartet to halt the violations occurring in Sudan, especially in the conflict-affected areas of Darfur.
On his part, Abdelatty emphasized Egypt's unwavering support for the unity and territorial integrity of Sudan, its complete rejection of any plans to partition the country, and its commitment to preserving Sudan's national institutions, sovereignty, and the well-being of the Sudanese people.
He stressed the necessity of adhering to the Quartet's statement issued on September 12, emphasizing the importance of quickly reaching an effective humanitarian truce that paves the way for a comprehensive and lasting ceasefire.
This process would also prevent any attempts or schemes aimed at dividing the country or undermining its national institutions, and establishes an inclusive political process led by the Sudanese themselves.
In the same context, the call with the UN official included an exchange of views on ways to strengthen the international response to the current crisis and ensure the delivery of humanitarian aid to the most affected groups.
Abdelatty and Fletcher reviewed Egypt's ongoing efforts to support its brothers in Sudan, both on the humanitarian and political levels, noting that Egypt continues to provide relief aid across its shared border, in addition to its ongoing coordination with the UN, the African Union, and international bodies to ensure aid reaches the most affected areas.
