Prime Minister Ibrahim Mahlab will embark on a visit to Equatorial Guinea on Monday to hold discussions with senior officials on ways of boosting bilateral ties.

During his two-day visit, Mahlab is scheduled to open the new Egyptian Embassy there.

Last May, Mahlab paid a visit to Equatorial Guinea and underlined the importance of establishing the embassy building at the highest level, especially that ties between the two countries will witness remarkable progress within the upcoming period.

Mahlab will also take part in the first conference to combat Ebola virus.

He will also meet with a host of African officials to discuss Egyptian-African cooperation.

The premier will meet with members of the Egyptian community in Equatorial Guinea to brief them on the conditions in Egypt.
