It was a quiet night on the airwaves yesterday, with President Abdel Fattah El Sisi’s meetings with Trump and Boris Johnson on the sidelines of the G7 summit meriting only a brief mention by Masaa DMC’s Eman Hosary (watch, runtime: 00:21). The president mainly focused on exploring solutions to Africa’s challenges, fighting terrorism and climate change during his France visit, she noted (watch, runtime: 00:39).

Egypt officially joined the Metz Charter on Biodiversity during the summit, Hosary said (watch, runtime: 00:36). The charter aims to promote the implementation of the three Rio conventions on climate, desertification and biological diversity. Africa is the continent most impacted by climate change despite accounting for only a fraction of the world’s emissions, El Sisi reportedly said. We have more on the El Sisi’s visit to the G7 in this morning’s Speed Round, below.

It’s a busy week for El Sisi, who will be meeting with African and Asian businessmen this week on the sidelines of the Tokyo International Conference on African Development (TICAD), El Hekaya’s Amr Adib said (watch, runtime: 02:00). The event is being co-chaired by Egypt and Japan and runs from 28-30 August.

A USD 500 mn agreement signed with India’s LuLu Hypermarket also earned some airtime with Hona Al Asema’s Lama Gebriel (watch, runtime: 00:38). We have more on the agreement in the Speed Round, below.
