Egyptian President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi is set to embark on a diplomatic mission to India as he participates in the G20 summit, taking place in New Delhi.
The journey underscores the significance of Egypt’s presence at this critical international gathering and the strong ties between Egypt and India.
Egypt’s presidential spokesperson, Ahmed Fahmi, confirmed the President’s attendance at the G20 summit, stating that the invitation had come from Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi, who currently presides over the group.
The summit convenes at a pivotal time in global affairs, and the close relations between Egypt and India further emphasize the importance of Egypt’s participation.
During the summit, President el-Sisi is expected to focus on a range of issues concerning developing nations, particularly those in Africa.
This includes the crucial task of facilitating international efforts to integrate developing countries into the global economy on an equitable basis.
Such integration offers mutual opportunities and benefits that attract investments and promote economic growth and development for all parties involved.
The Egyptian president will also stress the importance of providing effective support to developing countries to achieve sustainable development goals.
This support becomes imperative in the face of successive global crises affecting economies, food security, and energy resources.
Additionally, he will emphasize the need for advanced nations to honor their commitments within the framework of international agreements and mechanisms to combat climate change, enabling developing countries to increase their reliance on new and renewable energy sources.
In addition to participating in the G20 summit, el-Sisi’s visit to India will include bilateral meetings on the sidelines with world leaders and officials to discuss various matters of mutual interest.
