UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres, the Egyptian Foreign Ministry and governments in the Asia-Pacific region have welcomed the two-week ceasefire agreement between the US and Iran.
Guterres “called on all parties to the conflict in the Middle East to fulfill their obligations under international law and adhere to the ceasefire in order to pave the way for a lasting and comprehensive peace in the region.”
Egypt’s Foreign Ministry said that Egypt, along with Pakistan and Turkey, would continue its efforts “to strengthen security and stability in the region.” Cairo also said that talks between the US and Iran “must take into account the legitimate security interests of the Gulf states.”
The US-Iran two-week ceasefire agreement was also supported by Australia, New Zealand, Japan, and Malaysia.
