Japanese Prime Minister Kishida visits Egypt

The Prime Minister of Japan, Fumio Kishida, is in Egypt, the initial stage of a trip to four African countries and Singapore, organized in view of the G7 summit in Hiroshima, under the Japanese presidency, to strengthen ties with the "global South" and gather international solidarity in support of Ukraine. Arriving yesterday evening in Cairo, the premier will be busy traveling for a week: after Egypt, in fact, he will travel to Ghana, Kenya and Mozambique, before returning to his homeland with a transit through the South Asian city-state . His agenda today includes an interview with Egyptian President Abdel Fattah al Sisi, during which the issues of the ongoing conflict in Sudan and energy security will probably be in the foreground.
