Egyptian President Abdul Fattah al-Sisi stressed on Monday that Cairo and Paris are bound by natural strategic ties in all fields.
Speaking during a press conference with his French counterpart Emmanuel Macron in Paris, he added that the aspects of cooperation between their countries have witnessed “qualitative” advances in political, military and economic fields, among others.
He said his talks with the French leader were “frank and transparent”, reflecting their similar stances on several bilateral and regional issues.
Discussions, continued Sisi, focused on economic, trade and investment affairs and ways to boost them.
“We agreed on the importance of joint work to increase French investments in Egypt where opportunities are many in wake of the mega projects the country is pursuing,” he stressed.
For his part, Macron said Sisi’s visit is a sign of the strong relations between Egypt and France.
The Egyptian leader is on a three-day visit to Paris, which he kicked off on Sunday.
