Egypt: a summit to boost African exchanges

In El-Alamein, Egypt, over 20 African heads of state and government representatives participated in the first Alamein Africa Forum for three days. Discussions focused on development financing, trade, and investments within Africa, aiming to better utilize the continent's resources and foster stronger business partnerships. Egyptian President Abdel Fattah al-Sissi highlighted that the private sector accounts for over 70% of Africa's GDP, though much of its activity remains outward-facing.
