The visit also aims at increasing investments and the number of Italian and French tourists visiting Egypt, said Presidential Spokesman Ambassador Alaa Youssef.
The spokesman also said that Sisi will meet with his French and Italian counterparts for talks on a set of regional and international issues, terror combat as well as enlarging Egypt's cooperation with the European Union.
