In a statement issued on Sunday, the presidency said El-Sisi is scheduled to hold a number of meetings with world leaders during the summit, including a bilateral meeting with President Trump.

It added that Sisi's meetings would focus on "discussing ways to resolve international geopolitical crises and address their repercussions on trade, energy and supply chains".

The G7 summit will be one of the first major international gatherings since the United States and Israel launched a war against Iran in late February, upending the Middle East and widening transatlantic tensions.
