Madagascar's President Hery Rajaonarimampianina hailed on Sunday 9/12/2018 Egypt's leading role in Africa.

Addressing the inaugural session of the Africa 2018 Forum held in Sharm El Sheikh, Rajaonarimampianina said much more stability will be achieved in the continent when Cairo holds the rotating presidency of the African Union in 2019.

There are great capabilities in the African continent that must be exploited to the best in favor of Africans, he said.

He asserted that addressing insecurity is directly conducive to the growth and prosperity of the continent.
