President Kagame today arrived in Sharm El Sheikh, Egypt where he will attend the “Africa 2018 Forum”, an international gathering hosted under the High Patronage of President Abdel Fattah Al Sisi of the Arab Republic of Egypt. The forum aims to promote greater economic integration and investment flows into Africa.

This year's edition takes place from 8-9 December 2018 under the theme "Bold Leadership and Collective Commitment: Advancing Intra-African Investments" and is organised by the Government of Egypt through its Ministry of Investment and International Cooperation, and COMESA Regional Investment Agency (RIA). It focuses on developing intra-African investments towards creating the world’s largest trading bloc of 1.2 billion people.



The President will attend the Youth Entrepreneurs Day Presidential Intergenerational Dialogue where he is expected to deliver remarks alongside President Al Sisi of Egypt and young entrepreneurs from across the continent.



The two-day Forum convenes more than 1,000 leaders in business and policy from around the world. With Egypt taking over the chairmanship of the African Union in 2019, the Forum helps shape Africa’s agenda in 2019 and precedes the Intra-African trade fair that will take place in Cairo between the 11-17 December 2018.



Africa 2018 is a unique business-to-business and government-to-business platform, bringing together policymakers, financiers, leading industrialists, and young entrepreneurs.
