Foreign Policy

Egypt's foreign policy balances relationships with the United States (its largest military aid donor), the Gulf states (particularly Saudi Arabia and the UAE), and Europe. Cairo prioritizes counterterrorism, Nile water security, and regional stability -- particularly in Libya and Sudan.

Egypt seeks to maintain its role as the indispensable Arab mediator, especially in Gaza ceasefire negotiations. It supports a two-state solution and opposes any forced displacement of Palestinians into Sinai.

MUN Delegate Guide

As Egypt, you are one of the most influential delegations in the room. Leverage your founding UN membership and leadership in the Arab League and African Union. On Palestine, take a strong pro-Palestinian stance while emphasizing your role as a realistic mediator.

On the Nile/GERD issue, frame water security as an existential concern and push for binding international agreements on transboundary water resources. Ally with Saudi Arabia, the UAE, and Jordan. Maintain a pragmatic relationship with the US and Europe. On counterterrorism, advocate for state sovereignty and oppose external interference in domestic affairs.
