President Sisi: Egypt has not used the refugee file for political goals
Egyptian President Abdel Fattah El-Sisi affirmed that the Egyptian state has never used the refugee issue as a means to achieve political goals. These statements came in the context of Egypt emphasizing its humanitarian role in hosting millions of refugees of various nationalities on its territory.
President Sisi stressed the importance of activating the principle of "burden-sharing" among countries, pointing out that hosting such a large number of refugees requires international cooperation to support host countries. He explained that Egypt is committed to providing basic services to refugees despite the economic challenges facing the country.
Through these positions, Egypt seeks to clarify its foreign policy, which is based on balance and moral responsibility. The Egyptian government always emphasizes that it treats refugees as guests and provides them with opportunities for a decent life and integration into society without discrimination.
These statements come at a time when international pressure on refugee-hosting countries is increasing, making it necessary to remind the international community of the need to provide the necessary support. Egypt continues to emphasize that the security and stability of the region depend on joint cooperation in dealing with these humanitarian issues.
