Sisi receives German President in Cairo

Egyptian President Abdel Fatah El-Sisi received German President Frank-Walter Steinmeier in Cairo on Wednesday. Steinmeier's visit to Egypt is the first by a German president in 24 years.

The visit aims to strengthen the longstanding partnership in education, science, and business and to deepen bilateral relations, particularly given Egypt’s significant role in regional foreign and security policy, according to the German Embassy. He will also visit key collaborative projects including the New Capital High Speed Rail station.
