SHARM EL SHEIKH, Egypt (AA) - US President Joe Biden arrived Friday in the eastern city of Sharm el-Sheikh on his first visit to Egypt since taking office in January 2021.

Biden headed to the headquarters of the UN climate summit, according to the official Nile channel.

US National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan said Thursday: “The President departs for Sharm el-Sheikh, Egypt, where he will participate in the COP27 climate conference and hold a bilateral meeting with President Abdel Fattah Al Sisi.

“The President heads to COP27 with historic momentum on climate, thanks to the passage of the Inflation Reduction Act and other significant steps that put us on an enduring path towards meeting our ambitions and clean energy goals.”

After the COP27 summit, Biden will head to Phnom Penh, Cambodia from Nov. 12 - 13 to participate in the annual US-ASEAN Summit and the East Asia Summit.

On Thursday, US House Speaker Nancy Pelosi discussed with El-Sisi the Russian-Ukrainian war as well as the Ethiopia dam issue without reaching an agreement with Cairo, according to a statement by the Egyptian presidency.
