Furthermore, he highlighted Egypt's experience in hosting international conferences and its long-standing diplomatic history, which allows it to facilitate dialogue among diverse stakeholders. As Egypt handed over the presidency of the Khartoum Process to France, Bayoumi expressed confidence in Egypt's diplomatic efforts and the potential for positive regional outcomes.
