Egypt has an enormous potential and workforce, given that 60% of the Egyptian population is under the age of 40, President Sisi said.

The President emphasized the importance of establishing partnerships between the Egyptian and French sides in various fields and underscored the necessity of strengthening the local industry.

The President also noted the state's commitment to removing any obstacles facing French investors and elevating Egyptian-French relations to broader horizons that meet the aspirations of the two peoples.

Concluding his speech, President Sisi described the French president as a "trusted and highly-appreciated friend". (MENA)
