The Egyptian President is scheduled to deliver a speech on Egypt's policy towards Africa in the next phase and various issues of the continent, especially those relating to development, water, Nile Basin countries and ways of activating joint cooperation in the upcoming period. Morsi's participation in the summit is the first of its kind for an Egyptian president since 17 years.
