Presentation of the book ‘My Testimony’, by Ahmed Aboul Gheit (ARABIC)

Ahmed Aboul Gheit acudió a la sede de Casa Árabe para presentar la última edición de su libro, "Testigo de la guerra y de la paz". 

En el acto, celebrado el 26 de mayo en el Auditorio de la institución en Madrid (c/ Alcalá, 62) el máximo representante de la Liga de los Estados Árabes habló sobre sus vivencias en momentos cruciales del siglo XX y XXI en la convulsa región de Oriente Medio.

El exministro de Exteriores Ahmed Aboul Gheit relata en esta obra su experiencia durante la guerra de 1973 junto al consejero de Seguridad Nacional Mohamed Hafiz Ibrahim, un periodo de dos años durante los cuales Egipto se preparó para la guerra con Israel. El autor continúa con el relato de la propia guerra y las negociaciones que la siguieron. En la segunda parte del libro, Aboul Gheit narra los entresijos de la construcción de la paz con Israel a través de su experiencia como miembro, desde 1977, de una delegación encargada del seguimiento del proceso de paz. El lector podrá descubrir en las páginas de este libro que, en muchas ocasiones, los detalles pequeños permiten entender e interpretar eventos y situaciones de gran magnitud.

Aboul Gheit ha ocupado puestos clave, como Ministro de Relaciones Exteriores de Egipto (2004-2011) y Representante Permanente ante las Naciones Unidas (1999-2004), además de participar en diversas misiones diplomáticas. Fue parte del equipo negociador de los Acuerdos de Camp David en 1978, que culminaron en el tratado de paz entre Egipto e Israel, un hito en la diplomacia regional.

En su labor al frente de la Liga Árabe ha abogado por una mayor implicación de la comunidad internacional en la resolución de conflictos, especialmente en el proceso de paz palestino-israelí a través de la reactivación del proceso de paz bajo el marco de Naciones Unidas. Su trayectoria le ha valido reconocimientos internacionales, consolidando su papel como defensor del diálogo y la diplomacia como herramientas esenciales para la resolución de conflictos y el fortalecimiento de la cooperación en el mundo árabe.
