Egyptian President Abdel Fattah El Sisi emphasized Egypt’s commitment to positive engagement and stability on national, regional, and international levels, during a session at the World Economic Forum in Davos on Wednesday. Speaking alongside WEF Chairman Borge Brende, Sisi underscored Egypt’s pivotal role in promoting stability in a region beset by unrest.
The president described Egypt’s approach as long-standing, rooted in decades of policy that avoids interference in the internal affairs of other states while supporting neighboring countries in relying on their own institutions to manage domestic challenges.
Sisi stressed that armed militias operating outside state control have a direct and negative impact on national stability, citing examples from the region without specifying countries.
Turning to Lebanon, he said the country is moving in a “new and sound direction” and expressed hope that the Lebanese state will achieve full stability, restore growth, and regain its former regional prominence.
Regarding Syria, Sisi noted signs of positive progress and called for all Syrian actors to participate inclusively in political dialogue and national decision-making.
The remarks reflect Egypt’s ongoing efforts to position itself as a stabilizing force in the Middle East and North Africa, emphasizing diplomacy, state institutions and regional cooperation.
