Prime Minister Sherif Ismail will head Egypt's delegation at the 29th African Union Heads of State Summit – which will start on Monday in Addis Ababa – on behalf of President-Abdel Fattah El-Sisi, Al-Ahram Arabic website reported.
El-Sisi will not participate in the summit because of its change of schedule from late July to early July, as the president will be in Hungary to attend another summit at the time.
This year's African summit will be held under the slogan “Harnessing the Demographic Dividend through Investments in Youth”, with member nations sharing their experiences of empowering young people and preparing them for the future.
The issues to be discussed at the summit include foreign intervention in African countries, including Libya.
The headquarters of the African Union is located in Addis Abba.
