On Thursday, President Lee Jae Myung is set to convene a summit with Egyptian President Abdel Fattah El-Sisi in Seoul to explore avenues for enhancing economic collaboration between their nations. El-Sisi journeyed to Korea earlier that day, partaking in a three-day state visit that marked his inaugural visit to the country since 2016.
Upon arrival, the Egyptian leader was welcomed by official ceremonies before engaging in summit discussions, signing agreements, participating in a joint press conference, and enjoying a state luncheon, as per Cheong Wa Dae's reports. Both countries are anticipated to deliberate on matters such as trade and investment, infrastructure, supply chains, expanding people-to-people exchanges, the regional political landscape, and international concerns.
According to Kang Yu-jung, a presidential spokesperson, President El-Sisi's visit presents a crucial occasion to elevate South Korea-Egypt relations to a strategic partnership and further solidify their cooperation with Africa and the Middle East. The two leaders previously convened in November during Lee's visit to Egypt.
