Madbouly represents Egypt at 4th UN Conference on Financing for Development in Seville
Egyptian Prime Minister Mostafa Madbouly represented President Abdel Fattah El-Sisi at the opening session of the 4th International Conference on Financing for Development, held in Seville, Spain, from 30 June to 3 July 2025. The conference brought together King Felipe VI of Spain, over 70 heads of state and government, leaders of international financial institutions, civil society organisations, philanthropic foundations, and private sector representatives—particularly from the energy, food systems, and digital sectors. In his opening remarks, King Felipe VI underscored the urgency of honouring development financing commitments, enhancing multilateral cooperation, and enacting effective policies to support future generations. Speaking at the launch of the Seville Action Platform, Prime Minister Madbouly welcomed the initiative as a timely effort to mobilise governments, development partners, financial institutions, and the private sector to collectively assess challenges, exchange experiences, and promote innovative solutions to accelerate progress toward the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Madbouly highlighted Egypt's leadership within the platform and its recognition as a successful development model, particularly through its implementation of the Integrated National Financing Framework (INFF)—a tool aligning reforms, investment flows, and the Egypt Vision 2030 strategy. He also pointed to the NWFE (Nexus of Water, Food and Energy) platform as a mechanism for channelling investment into bankable projects within those critical sectors. He noted that Egypt's INFF framework prioritises investment in key areas including education, healthcare, social protection, sanitation, and transport, while also addressing cross-cutting themes such as environmental sustainability and gender equality. He spotlighted Egypt's flagship social programmes—the 'Takaful and Karama' cash transfer scheme and the Decent Life initiative—serving over 60 million people across more than 4,500 villages. Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez, who also serves as President of the Conference, called for substantive reforms to international financial institutions to make them more equitable and representative. He emphasised the importance of inclusive global dialogue to tackle pressing development financing challenges. UN Secretary-General António Guterres addressed the disruptive effects of geopolitical tensions on development, stressing the need for innovative financing mechanisms and reforms to enhance transparency and inclusivity within global financial systems. UN General Assembly President Philemon Yang echoed these concerns, highlighting the urgency of achieving the 2030 SDGs, alleviating debt burdens on developing countries, and providing accessible financing tools. Representatives from the UN Economic and Social Council, World Bank, IMF, and WTO also called for coordinated action and strengthened support for low-income nations. On the sidelines of the conference, Prime Minister Madbouly met with Nardos Bekele-Thomas, CEO of the African Union Development Agency (AUDA-NEPAD). Madbouly reaffirmed Egypt's commitment to supporting NEPAD's development agenda and pledged to maximise the impact of Egypt's remaining tenure as AUDA-NEPAD chair. Bekele-Thomas outlined recent efforts to mobilise resources, including the creation of a dedicated development fund and the launch of a Centre of Excellence for Climate Resilience. Egypt pledged its support for the centre and reaffirmed its intent to enhance cooperation through its Ministry of Planning and Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Madbouly also held talks with Mohammad Mustafa, Prime Minister of Palestine, where he reaffirmed Egypt's steadfast support for Palestinian rights and President El-Sisi's ongoing efforts to broker a ceasefire and facilitate Gaza's reconstruction. He stressed the importance of convening a comprehensive reconstruction conference once hostilities cease and confirmed continued coordination with Palestinian authorities. Madbouly expressed his deep gratitude for Egypt's historic and ongoing support, particularly in humanitarian aid and reconstruction. He noted efforts underway to organise an international peace conference in New York and praised Egypt's leadership in advocating for a just solution, including the establishment of a sovereign Palestinian state with East Jerusalem as its capital. Prime Minister Madbouly's participation and high-level meetings reflect Egypt's active diplomatic engagement in shaping global and regional development agendas, and its continued efforts to contribute to international dialogue on sustainable financing.

PM Delivers Speech at Launch Event of "Seville Platform for Action"
Rana Atef Today, Dr. Mostafa Madbouly, Prime Minister of Egypt, participated on behalf of His Excellency President Abdel Fattah El-Sisi, President of the Republic, in the launch event of the "Seville Platform for Action", part of the program of the Fourth United Nations Conference on Financing for Development, hosted by the Spanish province of Seville. The event was attended by Mr. António Guterres, Secretary-General of the United Nations; Mr. Pedro Sánchez, Prime Minister of Spain; Dr. Rania Al-Mashat, Minister of Planning, Economic Development and International Cooperation of Egypt; and a number of senior officials. In their speeches during the event, both the UN Secretary-General and the Spanish Prime Minister stressed the importance of mobilizing the necessary financing to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), the need for all parties to collaborate in this endeavor, and support for developing countries in their development efforts. They also emphasized the significance of launching the Seville Platform for Action. Dr. Mostafa Madbouly, Prime Minister of Egypt, also delivered a speech at the event, beginning by saying: 'I am pleased to be with you today at the launch of the 'Seville Platform for Action', an initiative that comes at a critical moment. Its goal is to bring together governments, financial institutions, development partners, the private sector, and all stakeholders to assess challenges, share experiences, and present innovative solutions — to put the world back on track and accelerate progress towards the SDGs.' Dr. Madbouly expressed appreciation for Egypt's active role in the initiative, which recognized the country as a successful development model — particularly for its use of the Integrated National Financing Framework (INFF) to coordinate reforms, investments, and the implementation of Egypt Vision 2030, and for mobilizing financing through the innovative national platform NWFI (Novi). This platform focuses on attracting investment and financing for high-return projects in the water, food, and energy sectors. In this context, the Prime Minister noted that the Integrated National Financing Framework serves as a central tool for prioritizing investments, mapping the financing landscape, and improving resource allocation. He added that the framework prioritizes key sectors for accelerating sustainable development — especially education, health, social protection, water and sanitation, and transport — while also addressing critical issues such as environmental sustainability and gender equality. Dr. Madbouly continued: 'This framework is a key pillar of several initiatives dedicated to promoting multidimensional sustainable development and inclusive community partnerships. Chief among them is the 'Takaful and Karama' program — a presidential initiative launched in 2015 to support poor families, focusing on human capital development through conditional and unconditional cash transfers. This program promotes social protection, education, and health, and is recognized internationally as an effective model of social protection.' He went on to highlight another success story — the presidential initiative 'Hayah Karima' (Decent Life), launched in 2019, which stands as Egypt's national project for developing rural areas. The initiative aims to improve the daily living conditions of Egyptians through the delivery of integrated services. It benefits more than 60 million citizens across over 4,500 villages. The Prime Minister concluded his remarks by reaffirming that effective international development cooperation has become essential to achieving the SDGs by 2030, stating: 'We look forward to the full activation of the 'Seville Platform for Action', which can help move from commitments to tangible results on the ground. We will work constructively with other countries and development partners to make this platform a successful model for knowledge exchange and the adoption of best practices — ensuring that no one is left behind.' read more Gold prices rise, 21 Karat at EGP 3685 NATO's Role in Israeli-Palestinian Conflict US Expresses 'Strong Opposition' to New Turkish Military Operation in Syria Shoukry Meets Director-General of FAO Lavrov: confrontation bet. nuclear powers must be avoided News Iran Summons French Ambassador over Foreign Minister Remarks News Aboul Gheit Condemns Israeli Escalation in West Bank News Greek PM: Athens Plays Key Role in Improving Energy Security in Region News One Person Injured in Explosion at Ukrainian Embassy in Madrid News China Launches Largest Ever Aircraft Carrier Sports Former Al Zamalek Player Ibrahim Shika Passes away after Long Battle with Cancer Videos & Features Tragedy Overshadows MC Alger Championship Celebration: One Fan Dead, 11 Injured After Stadium Fall Lifestyle Get to Know 2025 Eid Al Adha Prayer Times in Egypt Business Fear & Greed Index Plummets to Lowest Level Ever Recorded amid Global Trade War News Flights suspended at Port Sudan Airport after Drone Attacks Videos & Features Video: Trending Lifestyle TikToker Valeria Márquez Shot Dead during Live Stream News Shell Unveils Cost-Cutting, LNG Growth Plan Technology 50-Year Soviet Spacecraft 'Kosmos 482' Crashes into Indian Ocean Arts & Culture "6 Ayam" Sets Streaming Date
