The Egyptian leader turns 70
Egypt's President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi celebrates his birthday on 19 November 2024, according to the official website of the Egyptian Presidency.
Born in the city of Cairo in 1954, Egypt's top leader held a number of prominent positions throughout his career, including heading his country's Ministry of Defence in 2012 and as chairman of the African Union (AU) in 2019-2020.
He assumed the presidency of Egypt in 2014 and has since pushed for development projects, with Egypt being considered a strategic point for global trade, according to the New Development Bank (NBD).
