The summit’s agenda includes discussions on the Russian-Ukrainian War, climate change, trade, and the pandemic, according to the Associated Press. US President Joe Biden will also deliver a speech at an African-American business meeting, hold meetings with African heads of state, and host a dinner at the White House. It is not known whether Al-Sisi will hold talks with the US President during his stay in the US capital. Local media reports suggested that the White House did not extend an invitation to Ethiopian Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed because of his role in the Ethiopian civil war. The African Trade and Growth Pact will also be held at the ministerial level to discuss ways to implement the pact, enhance economic cooperation, increase the volume of trade and investments between the two sides, and support economic integration and intra-trade.
