@Anna18032000 high stakes means when something involves a lot of risk or serious consequences

@Anna18032000 I am assuming in this context it is about politics. So the call between the world leaders is high stakes meaning it is very important call between the world leaders

@ag1239 So "a high stakes call' can be understood like an important call betwen the world leaders to disscuss about an vital issue ,and if the call is unsuccesfull, it can make a serious risk in the future. Do I get in in the right way?

@ag1239 I'm so sorry to disturbing you, but could you explain a phrase for me?
What is the meaning of ' as far as Egypt is concerned"?. My teacher explained for me the meaning of that clause is '' according to what we know about the Egypt'' ,but I reckon this clause is used when we want to disscuss or think about Egypt.

@ag1239 Actually we were doing a test with a reading passage, he explaining this clause in that reading passage. The whole setence is " However, there is no question that, as far as Egypt is concerned, the evolution of the pyramid form began with one monument to one king designed by one brilliant architect: the Step Pyramid of Djoser at Saqqara. Therefore, he explained that clause in that way, which made me a little bit confused.
