El-Sisi’s participation in “BRIX” Summit reflects economic improvement in Egypt: diplomat

Cairo –

Egyptian Ambassador Nahed Shaker praised the participation of Egypt’s President Abdel-Fattah El-Sisi in the “BRIX” Summit held in China, saying that such participation reflects the strength of Egypt on both political and economic sides.

Shaker hailed the speech delivered by Egyptian president during the summit, as it discussed a large number of issues related to Egypt’s economy and the national projects adopted by the country to push forward Egypt’s economy during the coming period.

She stressed that the invitation to Egypt’s president to attend the summit reflects the positive repercussions of economic measures taken by Egypt since the ascent of President Sisi to power in 2014 to achieve economic reform.

Egypt is looking forward to joining a China-led robust bloc amid growing links between the two countries. Egyptian President Abdel-Fattah El-Sisi is currently in China after receiving an invitation to attend an annual summit of the Brics, a bloc comprising Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa.

The five big emerging economies make up around 22 per cent of the gross world product and represent nearly half of the globe’s population.
