Zambian President Edgar Lungu lauded on Wednesday President Abdel Fattah El Sisi's support for boosting Egyptian-African partnership in all domains.

President Lungu, in statements while visiting the Arab Organization for Industrialization (AOI), said Egypt is a major country in the African continent and Arab world and it is the cornerstone of stability in Africa.

Lungu held talks with head of the organization Abdel Aziz Sief el Din on boosting cooperation and exchanging expertise in the military and civil domains.

Sief el Din said the organization is keen on boosting cooperation with African countries, including Nigeria, Uganda, Eritrea, South Sudan and the Democratic Republic of Congo.

This is the second high-level Zambian official to visit the AOI as the Zambian chief of staff visited the organization in 2016.

The Zambian president toured an exhibition displaying military and civil products at the organization.
