It aims at enhancing relations with the African states in the various fields especially bolstering exchange of cooperation in the economic, trade and investment domains, in addition to giving a top priority to the African issues in the agenda of Egypt's foreign policy, added the spokesman.

The spokesman said Sisi is expected to make a series of bilateral talks with heads of African states with the aim of discussing mechanisms for boosting all aspects of cooperation with Egypt, the latest developments in a set of regional issues of common interest, in addition to crystallizing a joint framework for the African action in order to push forward the development process and enhancing economic integration in the continent.
