Today, President Abdel Fattah El-Sisi received the President of the Republic of Senegal, Macky Sall, at Ittihadia Palace, where an official reception ceremony was held.
The Spokesman for the Presidency said the two Presidents held a bilateral session of talks, followed by an expanded meeting attended by the two countries’ delegations. President El-Sisi welcomed his brother, President Macky Sall in Egypt, stressing his appreciation for the firm, historic relations and joint cooperation that bind the two countries. President El-Sisi emphasized Egypt’s keenness on enhancing bilateral relations and solidifying the strategic cooperation with Senegal in various fields to establish a sustainable partnership between the two countries. This comes particularly in light of Senegal’s key role in the West Africa region, which reflects the need for more coordination and cooperation with regard to regional security issues and integrated action to establish peace and stability in the African continent.
On bilateral relations, President El-Sisi lauded relations with Senegal at the political, economic, security and cultural levels. He also commended the growing cooperation between the two countries in the area of capacity-building, which stems from Egypt’s belief in the importance of investing in human capital in the continent. The President also underlined the need to continue to work towards developing joint cooperation projects during the coming period, particularly with regard to increasing trade and boosting Egyptian investments in various fields.
The President of Senegal expressed his country’s appreciation for the outstanding historic relations with Egypt. He confirmed his commitment to further advancing relations in various fields, particularly trade and economic cooperation, to be commensurate with the profound and distinct political relations between the two countries. The Senegalese President lauded the activities of Egyptian companies in Senegal in the sectors of construction, tourism and infrastructure. President Macky Sall looked forward to Egypt to increase its investments in his country, in addition to boosting the technical support that Egypt provides to the Senegalese in the field of capacity-building, particularly in light of the huge developmental leap underway in Egypt and the mega national projects that are currently being implemented and those planned for establishment.
President Sall also affirmed keenness to benefit from Egypt’s efforts, experience and vision to enhance joint African action and lead the African Union, in light of Senegal's upcoming assumption of the AU presidency during the upcoming annual African Summit, in addition to the mounting challenges that the African continent, in general, and the Sahel and East Africa, in particular, are facing. This requires intensifying cooperation and coordination with Egypt and its leadership against the backdrop of its political leverage in the region and the entire continent in terms of maintaining peace and security, as well as Egypt’s positions aimed at achieving regional stability, which are always reflected on the great Egyptian support for the various countries of the continent at different levels.
The Spokesman added that the meeting between the two presidents also touched on the latest regional developments of mutual interest, especially the issue of the Renaissance Dam. There was agreement to strengthen joint coordination and consultation to follow up on developments in this regard, especially in light of Senegal's upcoming assumption of the presidency of the African Union for this year.
They also discussed ways to enhance cooperation between the two countries in the coming period in the field of combating terrorism in the Sahel region, and elevating the capabilities of the national military forces in the region to confront terrorist organizations. This is while taking into account the efforts undertaken by Egypt to combat terrorism by holding training courses to build the institutions of the Sahel countries and the continent as a whole. This is in addition to raising their capabilities in various technical and military fields, as well as programs to combat extremism offered by various prestigious Egyptian religious institutions with the aim of upholding the values of moderate Islam at the level of the African continent.
Concluding their talks, the two presidents witnessed the signing of a number of memoranda of understanding and cooperation agreements between the two countries in the fields of electricity, renewable energy, antiquities, culture, sports, and mutual visa exemption for holders of diplomatic and mission passports.
