Canada condemns Israel's operation in Gaza, joins Egypt in ceasefire call: Ambassador - Foreign Affairs
Canadian Ambassador to Cairo Ulric Shannon affirmed his country's condemnation of Israeli military operations in the Gaza Strip and joined Egypt in calling for a ceasefire. He made his remarks during a celebration of Canada's National Day at his residence, held in a festive red-and-white atmosphere. The Ambassador praised Cairo's efforts to reach a ceasefire agreement in Gaza and described relations between Canada and Egypt as "advanced." Ambassador Shannon also expressed his happiness to celebrate National Day in Egypt this year, noting his previous tenure at the Canadian Embassy in Cairo as a third secretary in 2005. "Since I drank from the Nile, I have returned to it again,' he said. He lauded the strong cultural ties uniting the two countries, largely thanks to the large and successful Egyptian community in Canada, which numbers in the hundreds of thousands. The Ambassador highlighted that just two months after he assumed his duties in Cairo, visas were reinstated for Canadians upon entry to Egypt. This move has contributed to an increase in Canadian businesspeople and tourists, as well as an uptick in investment, he noted. Shannon added that Canada hosted the largest economic delegation from Egypt last April. He said that Canada, as the current chair of the G7 for 2025, cooperates closely with Egypt regarding the situation in the Middle East, referring to yesterday's phone call between President Abdel Fattah El-Sisi and Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney. He also highlighted the phone call between Minister of Foreign Affairs Badr Abdelatty and Canadian counterpart, Anita Anand. Follow us on: Facebook Instagram Whatsapp Short link:

EU says ready to facilitate return to Iran nuclear talks - Region
The EU's top diplomat told Iran's foreign minister Tuesday that Brussels is willing to facilitate a return to negotiations on Iran's nuclear programme after US and Israeli strikes. "Negotiations on Iran's nuclear programme should restart as soon as possible" and "cooperation" with the International Atomic Energy Agency must resume, EU foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas wrote on X after a phone call with Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi. "The EU is ready to facilitate this." Negotiations on ending Iran's nuclear programme should restart as soon as possible Cooperation with @iaeaorg must resume The EU is ready to facilitate this Any threats to pull out of the non-proliferation treaty don't help to lower tensions This is what I told @araghchi today — Kaja Kallas (@kajakallas) July 1, 2025 Kallas further warned Tehran that "any threats to pull out of the non-proliferation treaty don't help to lower tensions." The call came after Aragchi ruled out a out a quick resumption of talks with the United States and said Tehran will first need assurances it will not be attacked again. The United States and Iran were holding nuclear talks when Israel hit Iranian nuclear sites and military infrastructure. The United States joined the assault by bombing three nuclear sites -- Fordo, Natanz and Isfahan -- on June 21. The EU has long sought to play a mediation role with Iran. The 27-nation bloc was a signatory -- and facilitator -- of a 2015 deal between Iran and international powers over Tehran's nuclear programme. US President Donald Trump abandoned that deal in 2018.
