El Sisi to kick off African Tour

President Abd Fattah El-Sisi will begin a African tour on Friday, covering Zambia, South Africa, Angola and the Congo Democratic Republic.

The visit comes as a continuation of President Sisi’s recent African tours which aim at strengthening cooperation between Egypt and its African neighbors while presiding over the African Union.

Particularly, the president's visits will tackle and boost the economic, trade and investment levels, as well as advancing the priority accorded to African issues in Egyptian foreign policy.

During the African tour, the president will hold an intensive series of talks with the countries leaders to discuss mechanisms to enhance bilateral cooperation with Egypt and how to deal with the continent’s concerns.
