Security and Stability Underpin Africa’s Sustainable Development, Hegazy Says

Security and stability are the foundation for sustainable development across Africa, according to Mohamed Hegazy, Egypt’s former assistant foreign minister.

Hegazy pointed to the geopolitical shifts taking place both globally and on the African continent, alongside the tensions and conflicts associated with those changes.

His remarks linked Africa’s development prospects to its security environment, placing stability at the heart of efforts to achieve lasting progress.

The central message was that sustainable development cannot be considered separately from the conditions needed to support it, particularly as geopolitical pressures shape the continent’s outlook.
