A visit by a delegation of editors-in-chief and senior writers of Nile Basin and southern African countries to Egypt was paid in coordination between the Egyptian Agency for Partnership for Development and the African Sector at the Foreign Ministry, Spokesman for the Foreign Ministry Badr Abdel Aaty said.

The diplomat added that Shoukry reviewed Egypt's active contribution to the peace-keeping forces in a number of African countries.
He stressed Egypt's keenness to support the trade and investment relations with the African states.
