Sisi Directive Establishes Egypt Forum as Annual Platform for National Dialogue

Egypt is moving to make the Egypt Forum an annual event following a presidential decision by President Sisi, establishing a regular platform for dialogue among citizens, officials and experts.

The decision gives the forum a continuing role as a national gathering, with the 2026 edition framed as part of a new phase of constructive cooperation.

The forum is intended to bring participants together in an interactive setting, allowing members of the public to engage in discussion alongside government representatives and specialists.

Its annual format is designed to provide a recurring space for these exchanges, rather than limiting the initiative to a one-off meeting.

The announcement did not specify dates, a venue or a detailed agenda for the 2026 forum.
