Egyptian Minister of Foreign Affairs Nabil Fahmy is scheduled to meet with foreign delegates on Saturday to discuss Egypt's situation in the wake of the passing of the 2012 amended constitution.

Fahmy is meeting with a delegation from the British parliament, head of the Arab Parliament Ahmed Al-Jarwan, and Sierra Leone's Minister of Foreign Affairs Samura Kamara.

The Sierra Leonean minister’s visit comes as part of a new bid for Egypt to restore its African Union membership.

Egypt's membership in the AU was suspended after the ouster of Islamist President Mohamed Morsi on 3 July following mass protests.

The AU has said the move is a standard response to any interruption of constitutional rule by a member state.
