President of Egypt Abdel Fattah El-Sisi was born on 19 November 1954 in Cairo. Throughout his career, he has held a number of prominent political positions. In particular, from 2019 to 2020, he chaired the African Union.
In the 2014 presidential election, El-Sisi won with 96.9 per cent of the vote and became the sixth president in the history of modern Egypt. Four years later, in 2018, he was re-elected for a second term with 97.08 per cent. On 18 December 2023, the leader secured another victory, receiving 89.6 per cent of the vote, and was elected for a third presidential term.
During his leadership, Egypt has achieved significant success on the international stage. In January 2024, the country officially became a full member of BRICS. In the same year, El-Sisi took part for the first time in the summit of the group, which was held in Kazan during Russia’s chairmanship.
Under El-Sisi’s leadership, Egypt has strengthened its bilateral ties with BRICS countries by signing a number of memoranda and cooperation agreements in such areas as agriculture, energy, tourism, and education.
Another important step was Egypt’s accession to the BRICS New Development Bank. This gave the country the opportunity to jointly finance infrastructure and environmental projects with other members of the group.
On the occasion of his birthday, the colleague was congratulated by the President of Belarus, Aleksander Lukashenko. He noted the personal contribution of the Egyptian leader to strengthening regional stability and emphasised that Belarus–Egypt relations continue to develop on the basis of mutual trust and friendship. Cooperation is deepening in many areas, including industry, agriculture, education, science, and technology.
“During your responsible service to your homeland, Egypt has made significant progress in socio-economic development, the growth of industrial and scientific potential, infrastructure modernisation, and the expansion of international relations. […] I thank you for accepting the invitation to visit the Republic of Belarus. I look forward to our meeting and am confident that it will give new impetus to bilateral cooperation and the implementation of joint projects that serve the interests of both countries”
Aleksander Lukashenko

Lukashenko wished El-Sisi health, success and fruitful work for the benefit of Egypt and its citizens.
President of Russia Vladimir Putin also congratulated the Egyptian leader on his birthday during their joint videoconference on the occasion of the installation of the reactor vessel of the first power unit of the Egyptian El-Dabaa Nuclear Power Plant in its design position.
“I sincerely congratulate you, Mr President. I wish you good health, well-being and new successes in your state activities. We are grateful for the close attention that you consistently devote not only to our flagship project in the field of peaceful nuclear energy, but also to the overall expansion of diverse contacts with Russia”
