The two leaders are expected to hold bilateral talks focused on enhancing cooperation in trade, regional security, and infrastructure development, while also exchanging views on key issues affecting the Horn of Africa and the wider Red Sea region.
President Isaias and his delegation are also set to attend the official inauguration of Egypt’s Grand Museum in Cairo on November 1, an event expected to draw several regional and international dignitaries.
Accompanying the Eritrean leader are Foreign Minister Osman Saleh and other senior government officials. The visit marks another step in the growing diplomatic engagement between Asmara and Cairo.
Earlier this year, in March, Egyptian Foreign Minister Badr Abdelatty met with President Isaias in Asmara to deliver a message from President al-Sisi, reaffirming both nations’ commitment to closer cooperation and joint efforts within a tripartite framework involving Egypt, Eritrea, and Somalia to promote peace and stability in the Horn of Africa.
