The G20 Summit in Rio de Janeiro, which began on Monday and will continue until Tuesday, promises to be a crucial event for Egypt and the world. The participation of Egyptian President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi in this major event reflects the country’s growing importance on the international stage. Invited by Brazilian President Lula da Silva, President Sisi will address issues that are critical to the development of developing countries, such as social inclusion, combating poverty and hunger, and energy transformation in the context of sustainable development.
During the summit, President Sisi will outline Egypt’s development efforts and the challenges facing developing countries in achieving the Sustainable Development Goals, especially in the context of global political and economic fluctuations. He will highlight Egypt’s vision of solidarity and strengthening cooperation to address these challenges.
The President’s speeches will also highlight the regional situation, in particular the crisis caused by the Israeli attacks in Palestine and Lebanon, as well as Egypt’s efforts to restore stability in the Middle East. These interventions at the summit will be crucial in raising awareness among the international community of the challenges facing the region and the importance of collective action to address them.
In parallel with the summit sessions, the official launch of the Global Alliance against Hunger and Poverty is scheduled. This international initiative, launched by Brazil, aims to improve social inclusion, eliminate poverty and hunger by mobilizing financial resources and knowledge to accelerate global efforts in this area. The fight against poverty and hunger is indeed at the heart of the Sustainable Development Goals, and this alliance represents a significant step forward in addressing these critical challenges on a global scale.
By actively participating in this major international event, Egypt is strengthening its position on the world stage and affirming its commitment to sustainable development, regional stability and the fight against poverty and hunger. President Sisi thus represents not only the interests of his country, but also those of developing countries, offering a strong and constructive voice in the debates at the G20 summit.
