  "summary": "Egyptian President Abdel Fattah El-Sisi is on a two-day state visit to Malaysia, invited by King Sultan Ibrahim. During his visit, El-Sisi and Malaysian Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim attended a joint press conference and witnessed the signing of four memoranda of understanding to strengthen bilateral cooperation. The agreements cover empowering women, higher education, tourism, and investments.\n\nAccording to Anwar Ibrahim, Malaysia and Egypt will focus on expanding trade and investment cooperation, improving flight connectivity, and exploring new areas of economic collaboration at a Joint Commission meeting in the first quarter of next year. Bilateral trade between the two countries has increased by 74.7 per cent this year, although Anwar noted that the growth is from a low base. Malaysia sees potential to expand cooperation with Egypt in sectors such as semiconductors, electrical and electronics, agriculture, and pharmaceuticals.\n\nEl-Sisi also accepted an invitation to visit Egypt from King Sultan Ibrahim and Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim. At a joint press conference, El-Sisi expressed his gratitude for the Darjah Utama Seri Mahkota Negara (DMN) conferred on him by King Sultan Ibrahim, saying it reflects the strength of relations between the two countries.",
