Invited by Abdel Fattah Al-Sissi, Colonel Michaël Randrianirina, president of the Refondation, landed in Cairo yesterday around 6:30 p.m. Departing from Ivato in the morning with his wife and a delegation, the head of state is beginning a several-day visit to Egypt. The stated objective is to strengthen cooperation between the two countries. "Only cooperation between African countries will advance Africa," he declared before leaving Antananarivo. Concretely, summit talks and the signing of bilateral agreements are planned. First stop yesterday evening: a meeting with the Malagasy diaspora. At the El-Qubba State Palace, the head of state listened, as is his custom during his travels, to proposals and grievances from nationals there. Garry Ranaivoson
