Lee to present bike to Egyptian president

South Korean President Lee Jae Myung is set to present a high-end bicycle to Egyptian President Abdel Fattah El-Sisi, according to Cheong Wa Dae. The gesture comes as part of a state visit by El-Sisi to South Korea. The gift selection reflects El-Sisi's interest in cycling and his initiatives to promote the health benefits of using bicycles.

The presidential office also announced that an FA-50 aircraft, a domestically manufactured light attack jet, will provide aerial protection for the Egyptian president. Throughout Seoul, welcoming videos will play on large screens at various locations, including Sejongdaero, Lotte World Tower, and N Seoul Tower. The official ceremony will include a traditional honor guard, military band, performances by Egyptian musicians, and a state luncheon with around 70 guests from both nations. The event will end with a performance by the contemporary South Korean music group, Black String.
