Egypt has called for holding an Arab League (AL’s) emergency meeting at the level of permanent representatives to discuss the current developments in Ukraine, the Foreign Ministry announced on Sunday.

In a statement released on February 24, the Foreign Ministry asserted the importance of advocating dialogue and diplomatic solutions to politically settle the Russian-Ukrainian crisis.

“Following a diplomatic path would lead to preserving international security and stability and preventing further escalation of the crisis, in addition to averting the aggravation of the humanitarian and economic conditions in the area and the world at large,” the statement said.
