Shoukry will also meet with a number of ministers and senior officials in order to continue discussions on the most pressing regional issues and exchange views on the various challenges facing the region and ways to develop mechanisms to respond to those challenges.
A large number of foreign ministers and leaders of regional and international organizations will participate in the summit from November 19 to 21. A statement by the Egyptian Foreign Ministry said that Shoukry will participate as a keynote speaker in the session “Changing Multilateralism and Regional Security.”
The speech of the Egyptian Foreign Minister deals with the multilateral frameworks and their development and the role they played in dealing with the challenges witnessed by the regional and international environment during the past decades. The importance of developing and modernizing the international and regional multilateral frameworks to keep pace with the nature and size of the current and future challenges will be a prominent feature.
