President Cyril Ramaphosa returned home from Egypt on Tuesday after holding official talks with President Abdel Fatah El-Sisi.
The focus of the visit was to strengthen bilateral and economic relations with the largest export market in North Africa for South African goods and to provide an opportunity for the two heads of state to enhance strategic cooperation on the continent.
New avenues of cooperation in trade and investments, including infrastructure, manufacturing and agro-processing were also discussed.
Ramaphosa planned to participate in the inaugural session of the Aswan Forum for Sustainable Peace and Development scheduled for today but returned home early to attend to South Africa’s electricity crisis. – Zoë van Rooyen
