Egypt is looking forward further cooperation with the African countries, said Prime Minister Ibrahim Mahlab.
The remarks were made during a ceremony held to receive the presidency of the African Ministerial Conference on the Environment (AMCEN).
The African countries should unify their ranks for better future of the coming generations, Mahlab said.
Mahlab voiced hope to reach a legal agreement to face climate change.
The issues of water, food and energy are the three challenges directly related to the climate change, Mahlab said.
