Egypt’s Foreign Minister Sameh Shoukry participated in the MENA Climate Week, which is being held from October 8 to 12 in Riyadh.
Delivering a speech at the opening session of the meetings, Shoukry, who is the COP27 President, said that he is honored to see the Arab region hosting and leading the multilateral climate negotiations for two years in a row, said Foreign Ministry Spokesman Ahmed Abu Zeid.
He also referred to Egypt’s successful leadership in the climate-related negotiations, with the full support of the developing countries and the Arab countries, according to the spokesman.
Shoukry, meanwhile, reviewed the difficulties faced by the negotiating track, pointing out to the Egyptian presidency’s efforts during the COP27 Conference in Sharm El Sheikh to establish and launch a loss and damage fund, added the spokesman.
