President John Dramani Mahama has arrived in Alamein, Egypt, to participate in the 8th African Union Mid-Year Coordination Summit and the maiden Alamein Africa Forum, which is being held alongside the heads of state meeting.
The Alamein Africa Forum is scheduled to open on Saturday with an address by Egyptian President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi, followed by a keynote address from Nigerian business magnate Aliko Dangote.
President Mahama is also expected to deliver the keynote address at a plenary session focused on “Investing in Health: Manufacturing and Regional Value Chains.”
His presentation will explore health as a strategic economic sector and an investable market, rather than viewing it solely as a social expenditure.
The heads of state session for the 8th African Union Mid-Year Coordination Summit will take place on Sunday.
On the sidelines of the summit, President Mahama is expected to hold a number of bilateral engagements, including a meeting with Egyptian President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi.
The two gatherings are expected to provide opportunities to advance African economic integration and sustainable development, while bringing together governments, businesses and financial institutions to identify investment opportunities and strengthen partnerships across the continent.
