She said on her Twitter account “We encourage & support these reforms, & look forward to working w/ the Egyptian government to advance these efforts.”. She made the comment after President El Sisi delivered a speech on Egypt Women`s Day.

President Abdel Fatah Al-Sisi announced seven decisions relating to female empowerment on Egyptian Women Day. His notable decisions include ending domestic violence, adopting laws that protect women’s rights, and addressing issues of early marriage, the deprivation of post-porce, and education rights. Following his talk with the health minister about screening and treating the nation’s women for breast cancer, Sisi also proposed a fund that would aid Egyptian women as they face these challenges.

Washington`s Summit

President Trump and President Sisi are meeting at the White House on April 9 to discuss bilateral relations as well as issues — both regional and international — that are of concern to both the United States and Egypt.

According to the White House, the meeting is a culmination of the increased cooperation between both countries.

"Sisi’s visit to Washington comes at Trump’s invitation to discuss bilateral relations and regional and international issues of mutual concern," said Egyptian presidential spokesperson Bassam Radi in a statement last week.
