Ambassador of France to Egypt Stéphane Romatet announced on Monday that the French government has prepared for French president Emmanuel Macron to visit Egypt in January.
During the Egyptian-French Health Forum, Romatet clarified that the two countries prepared agreements within the forum to be signed during Macron’s visit.
Romatet added that France has offered several services to Egypt in the medical and drug field and has trained Egyptian physicians in France.
He said that Macron would meet President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi and discuss new French investments in Egypt and regional affairs such as the Libya situation, where Romatet hailed Egypt’s efforts to unify the Libyan army and support the Libyan presidential elections.
