Egypt’s permanent mission to the United Nations in New York has started diplomatic talks at the UN Security Council in the wake of the terrorist attack in Minya last week. Ambassador Amr Abul Atta, Egypt’s permanent representative at the UN, said the call for a meeting was made by Foreign Minister Sameh Shoukry. He stressed that the meeting’s importance to Egypt becomes higher after the recent Minya attacks, committed by terrorists who were trained and financed and armed in Libya. The gravity of the situation lays in Egypt being a neighboring country to Libya. The meeting, which Egypt will head in coordination with the other three committees, will tackle terrorist challenges in Libya, as well as discuss aid offered to Libya by the international community and the UN.
