Gabonese President Ali Bongo will travel to Egypt on Saturday 5 November 2022. It is part of the 27th Conference of the Parties (COP) which starts on Sunday 6 November. Considered as one of the most involved world leaders in the fight against global warming and for the preservation of the environment, Ali Bongo will take part during three days in the Egyptian capital, in the works of the Cop27.

And it is in this capacity that the President of the Republic will take part in the 27th Conference of the Parties (Cop), like other leaders.
In a statement, the presidential palace said that Gabon, through the participation of Head of State Ali Bongo at Cop27, is once again demonstrating the interest and role it intends to play in these important issues on the continental and international scene.
