Interview with the Egyptian Ambassador to Norway: New perspectives on the Ukraine/Russia war

In this episode of Political Bark I speak with the Egyptian Ambassador to Norway about the Ukraine/Russia War and Egypt's more pragmatic position.  As I discuss with H.E the Ambassador, right now, in this intense and volatile global climate, it is required that we look for solutions that lead to peace and communication instead of those leading to war.  In order to get new and refreshing perspectives on solutions t we need to hear from those countries that are acting and positioned more neutrally in this war.  Egypt is such a country - that has a strategically very interesting position right now; being a neutral actor, thriving on important bilateral agreements and relations with both the Kremlin, Ukraine, the EU and Washington today. Together we also discuss the detrimental consequences the war is having on third countries, such as those in the Middle East and in North Africa where the price of wheat and other commodities has doubled these last weeks. Tune in for an interesting and important episode!
