This is the first time, Egypt participates in the BRICS Summit after it has officially joined the economic bloc in early 2024.

In statements, the Presidential Spokesman said that President Sisi, during the summit, will review Egypt’s all-round vision and positions regarding a number of important regional and international issues, including means to strengthen cooperation among BRICS member states in a way that ensures the development of multilateral action and contributes to addressing the global political and economic challenges.

President Sisi will also discuss the issue of reforming the global financial structure to achieve the desired balance, with regard to sustaining interests of developing countries in various international and regional forums, in light of the growing negative impacts of international conflicts and crises on the development process of developing countries, said the spokesman.
