Egyptian President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi will conclude his state visit to the Austrian capital Vienna on Wednesday after a four-day visit. Sisi arrived in the Austrian capital on Sunday morning for a four-day state visit, where he participated in the High-Level Forum Africa-Europe to further their partnership. The president’s participation in the forum, along with a group of African and European leaders, came at the invitation of Austrian Chancellor Sebastian Kurz, current president of the European Union, and Rwandan President Paul Kagame, current president of the African Union. Sisi and Chancellor Kurz agreed to resume the work of the joint Egyptian-Austrian committee in 2020, after it was suspended in 2010. The two heads of state signed 10 Memoranda of Understanding (MoUs) and cooperation agreements in fields of higher education, investment, entrepreneurship and technology.
