Egyptian President Abdel Fattah El Sisi emphasised the need for a cessation of conflicts and fighting through an action from the United Nations and the European Union in states embroiled in conflicts in order to help in reconstruction and efforts to mitigate the effects of those crises on citizens.
Sisi made the remarks during his participation on Wednesday in a session titled “The International Responsibility for Post-Conflict Areas Reconstruction” as part of the third-day activities of the World Youth Forum (WYF).
On behalf of the WYF youth, President Sisi called on leaders of conflict-hit states to change the perspective from which they deal with the situation, as well as to work on mitigating relevant negative impacts.
He also urged them to take into account the humanitarian and psychological dimensions related to citizens who are suffering as a result of those conflicts.
In the same regard, the president recalled the discussions held during the 2018 World Youth Forum about conflicts, reconstruction and crises in conflict-hit countries, in addition to their impacts on the male and female youth, even on those staying in refugee camps.
