SEOUL, October 6 (Yonhap) - Egyptian President Abdel Fattah El-Sisi is set to embark on a state visit to South Korea this week, according to a statement from Lee's office on Tuesday. The visit comes at the invitation of South Korean President Lee Jae Myung. El-Sisi is scheduled to arrive in South Korea on Wednesday and will meet with Lee Jae Myung on Thursday, marking a three-day stay, as confirmed by Kang Yu-jung, a presidential spokesperson.
During this summit, the two leaders plan to engage in detailed discussions on various topics, including economic cooperation such as trade and investment, infrastructure, supply chains, as well as expanding people-to-people exchanges and addressing the regional political situation and international issues.
