Dacic praised Egypt’s role in Africa and the close connection between his country and the African countries since the late president Joseph Tito. He added that he also looked forward to meeting Egyptian Foreign Minister Sameh Shokry to resume the joint economic committee work, and hoped that the two countries could sign several agreements and memorandum of understandings within the economic and cultural fields.
