The forum in the southern Egyptian city of Aswan is expected to bring together senior ministers, UN officials and representatives of regional and international organisations.
At a meeting on Wednesday, Abdelatty called for continued co-ordination to ensure the forum produced practical outcomes that could help resolve crises and build lasting peace, Foreign Ministry spokesperson Nader Zaki said.
The minister also stressed the need to address the root causes of conflicts in Africa and the Middle East, and to support peacebuilding, reconstruction and development after conflicts, the spokesperson added.
