In this context, the Minister of Planning, Economic Development, and International Cooperation underscored the importance of the Tokyo International Conference on African Development, which paves the way for broader areas of cooperation and partnership between Japan and African countries, as well as regional and international organizations. Dr. Al-Mashat affirmed the government's keenness to strengthen partnerships and cooperation with United Nations organizations and international institutions in order to advance efforts to achieve sustainable development. At the same time, H.E. pointed to the national efforts to localise technology, develop a strategy for artificial intelligence and launch a national council for artificial intelligence in order to keep pace with developments in these technologies, which have become a necessary factor for achieving development in various fields. The Minister of Planning, Economic Development, and International Cooperation welcomed the prospect of cooperation and partnership with the United Nations University to build upon the strong and longstanding partnership between Egypt and the United Nations, as Egypt is a founding member of the UN system.

The 9th edition of the Tokyo International Conference on African Development Summit (TICAD9) is taking place in Yokohama, Japan from 20th to 22nd August under the theme 'Co-Create Innovative Solutions with Africa'.

They demand regional coordination, shared responsibility, and strong multilateral cooperation.'
