Prime Minister Ibrahim Mahlab returned home early Tuesday winding up a three-day visit to South Africa where he took part in NEPAD and African Union Summit held in Johannesburg on behalf of President Abdel Fattah El Sisi.

Mahlab delivered Egypt's address at the summit in which he asserted the depth of Egyptian-African relations and reiterated Egypt's keenness on further developing them in the coming phase especially after the convocation of the three African blocs summit held in Sharm El Sheikh last week.

Mahlab also reviewed with the Egyptian community members and investors in South Africa efforts exerted by Egypt and facilitation offered to Africans to lure investments to Egypt and bolster inter-African trade.
