Madbouly will attend the opening session alongside Japan’s prime minister, African heads of state, and leaders of international organizations, the cabinet said in a statement.
He is also expected to hold a series of bilateral meetings and take part in the Egypt–Japan Business Council Forum, which will bring together major companies from both countries.
TICAD, launched by Japan in 1993 and co-hosted with the United Nations (UN), World Bank, and African Union, is one of the most prominent international forums for advancing cooperation with Africa. Initially held every five years, it moved to a three-year cycle in 2016.
The last summit took place in Tunisia in 2022, while TICAD 7 7 was held in Yokohama in 2019, drawing more than 10,000 participants, including 42 African leaders.
