President Sisi will deliver a speech at the summit in which he will review achievements made on the African continent during Egypt’s presidency of the union, which started in February 2019, including the African Continental Free Trade Area which came into effect on May 30 2019.

Sisi will chair the closed session on Sunday to discuss challenges facing the African continent. He will also hold discussions with leaders of African countries on ways to enhance bilateral relations in all areas, and discuss African and regional issues of common concern.
