President El-Sisi to attend G7 summit in France, meet with US President Trump

The Egyptian Presidency announced that El-Sisi will hold bilateral talks with leaders of participating countries, including US President Donald Trump. This meeting follows their previous engagements, such as the World Economic Forum in Davos in January 2026 and co-chairing the Sharm El-Sheikh Summit for Peace in October 2025, where they signed a declaration to end the war in Gaza. Egypt is actively supporting a prospective deal between the United States and Iran to end the Middle East war and is working to advance the Gaza ceasefire agreement between Israel and Hamas.

The G7 summit, hosted by France, will gather heads of state and government from Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, the UK, and the US, along with invited partner countries like Egypt. Egypt's participation, its second at a G7 summit, highlights its role in promoting development and stability in the Middle East. Discussions will cover global economic growth, geopolitical crises, trade, energy, supply chains, Sustainable Development Goals, digitalization, and artificial intelligence.

Chiefs of the European Council and European Commission, as well as heads of international and regional organizations, will also attend.
