CAIRO, July 12 (MENA) - President Abdel Fattah El Sisi on Saturday heads to Malabo, the capital of Equatorial Guinea to participate in the Seventh Mid-Year Coordination Summit Meeting of the African Union.

Spokesman for the Presidency Mohamed el Shennawy said that president Sisi is participating in the coordination meeting, which is usually limited to a few African leaders.

This participation comes in light of Egypt's chairmanship of the North African Regional Capability and its leadership of the Steering Committee of Heads of State and Government of the African Union Development Agency (AUDA-NEPAD).

During the summit, the president will review Egypt's efforts to develop the work of the two mechanisms, which will strengthen peace, security, and their connection to development and stability goals in the African continent.

President Sisi is expected to meet with a number of fellow African leaders to discuss the challenges facing the African continent and explore ways to bolster continental stability to fulfill the aspirations of African peoples for prosperity and development. (MENA)
