“The CwA initiative aims at supporting economic collaboration between Africa and the G20 countries through joint projects that contribute to accelerating the growth of the continent,” Radi stated.

Moreover, Radi noted that president Sisi will hold a series of bilateral meetings with several German senior officials including; Angela Merkel, to discuss ways to bolster bilateral relations between both countries, as well as exchanging views regarding the latest regional and international issues of common interest.
