Egypt's President Abdel-Fattah El-Sisi discussed the importance of having an African free trade area in the closed session of the African Union summit held on Sunday in Kigali, Rwanda, the Egyptian Presidency said.
The closed session included discussions on the African free trade area as well as developments involving the UN and UN Security Council reforms and the election of members of the African Union commission, according to a presidency statement. Regarding the African free trade area, the El-Sisi stated that Egypt was looking forward to the success of the talks, hinting at the previous success of the summit of the three African economic regional free trade areas, the "Common Market for Eastern and Southern Africa, Southern African Development Community and Eastern African community," that took place in Sharm El-Sheikh in June 2015. The African presidents agreed to delegate the African Union commission to prepare a vision for the free trade area that will be up for discussion in the upcoming summit in Addis Ababa in January 2017. El-Sisi met Congolese President Joseph Kabila, discussing bilateral relations. El-Sisi and Kabila agreed to give a "push forward" to Egyptian-Congolese cooperation especially in the field of the health sector where Egypt would share its experience in treating Hepatitis C. The two presidents also spoke about joint projects in the solar energy field. El-Sisi also met with his Sudanese counterpart Omar El-Bashir as they held talks about bilateral relations between Egypt and Sudan, especially in the economic and commercial realms. El-Sisi also met Somali president Hassan Sheikh Mohamud, reasserting Egypt's full support to Somalia and the unity of its territory, as well as the country's development. |
