Madbouly will participate in the conference opening session on Monday on behalf of President Abdel-Fattah El-Sisi, according to a Sunday cabinet statement.
He will also attend the launch of the Seville Platform for Action, where he is slated to deliver a key address, in addition to Egypt's official statement during the general debate sessions of the conference.
The PM's agenda includes a series of meetings with heads of government, ministers from several nations, and leaders of regional and international organizations.
He is accompanied by Minister of Planning, Economic Development, and International Cooperation Rania Al-Mashat and Minister of Finance Ahmed Kouchouk.
The event, which aims to enhance international cooperation in financing for development, is expected to draw a significant number of heads of state and government, including Spain's Prime Minister and the UN Secretary-General, as well as leaders of various international institutions and organizations.
Egypt is set to present its financing model at the FFD4, showcasing its blended finance architecture and de-risking tools.
Earlier this month, at a high-level meeting ahead of the FFD4, El-Sisi outlined the pillars of Egypt's vision for enhancing international efforts to finance development, highlighting significant changes in the international trade landscape that are affecting the global economy.

Turkey spy chief talks Gaza truce with senior Hamas leader - War on Gaza
Turkey's intelligence chief Ibrahim Kalin met senior Hamas officials on Sunday to discuss the deepening humanitarian crisis in Gaza and efforts to secure a permanent ceasefire, according to the state-run Anadolu news agency. Kalin held talks with Mohammad Darwish, head of Hamas's political council in Gaza, and his delegation at an undisclosed location, Anadolu reported, citing Turkish security sources. The discussions focused on what was described as the "humanitarian tragedy" unfolding in Gaza under Israel's full military blockade, and on Turkey's efforts to 'ensure the immediate passage of aid' and help bring an end to the war. According to the sources, the two sides also discussed 'the need to reach a consensus among Palestinian groups during this critical period' and steps toward achieving a lasting ceasefire. The meeting followed comments by US president Donald Trump, who on Friday voiced optimism about a potential deal between Israel and Hamas, saying a ceasefire could be reached 'within the next week'. Mediators have spent months pushing for an agreement to halt Israel's 20-month war on Gaza, which has killed more than 56,000 Palestinians, destroyed large parts of the territory, and displaced nearly the entire population. Israel imposed a total blockade more than two months ago, cutting off food, water and aid, prompting UN agencies to warn of impending famine. Under mounting pressure, Israel later approved a restricted aid mechanism through the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF), operated in coordination with Israeli forces and private US contractors. Aid groups say the system has become a means of control, not relief, with limited access and repeated Israeli attacks on Palestinians gathering at aid points. Multiple incidents have been reported of civilians being shot while trying to access food, with human rights monitors accusing Israeli forces of targeting aid seekers with impunity. The International Court of Justice has ruled that Israel must prevent acts of genocide, while humanitarian organisations and legal experts say the campaign bears the hallmarks of one. *This story was edited by Ahram Online.

Egypt to toughen truck safety rules following fatal Ring Road accident
Egypt's Prime Minister has announced a series of measures, including financial support for victims' families and new road safety regulations, following a crash on the Regional Ring Road that killed 19 people. The crash occurred early on Friday when a speeding heavy truck collided with a microbus carrying female workers from the village of Kafr El-Sanabsa. All 18 females onboard and the microbus driver were killed, while three others sustained injuries. The victims, described in state media as 'martyrs of livelihood,' were en route to their jobs when the collision occurred. The force of the impact destroyed both vehicles. Emergency responders transferred the bodies and the injured to hospitals in Quesna, El-Bagour, Ashmoun, and Shebin El-Kom. In response, Prime Minister Mostafa Madbouly followed up on directives issued by President Abdel Fattah Al-Sisi concerning compensation, road maintenance, and safety procedures. The measures include direct support for the families of the 19 victims. Madbouly directed the Ministers of Education and Higher Education to grant a full exemption from all tuition fees for the bereaved families. He also instructed the Minister of Social Solidarity to disburse a special pension. To honour the victims, the Governor of Monufia was tasked with naming government buildings and streets in their home village of Kafr al-Sanabsa after the 19 deceased. The government also introduced new regulations aimed at preventing similar incidents. Madbouly ordered the mandatory separation of private passenger cars and commercial trucks in areas undergoing maintenance and development. He also called for an increase in traffic patrols, speed radars, and surveillance cameras to ensure compliance with traffic regulations and to penalise violators. Furthermore, the prime minister instructed authorities to implement regular, frequent, and unannounced drug testing for all truck drivers, particularly on highways. Legal action will be taken against those who test positive, and the government will study the possibility of imposing harsher penalties for such offences. The prime minister said officials must complete all repairs and maintenance on the Regional Ring Road according to a strict schedule, with full adherence to safety protocols. Dr. Madbouly stated that words of condolence and sympathy are insufficient to express the gravity of the tragedy. He added that he and the entire Cabinet deeply regret the accident, which has pained all Egyptians, stating, 'This loss is a loss we all share.'
