African Union Commission Chairperson Moussa Faki Mahamat said on Monday that the commission will fully cooperate with President Abdel Fattah El Sisi as chairman of the AU to solve African issues and to achieve remarkable progress in the sustainable development agenda.

Addressing a joint presser with Sisi, Faki thanked the Egyptian leader for providing a clear-cut and comprehensive review of the continent's issues.

He praised the choice of 2019 as the year of refugees and displaced people in Africa, calling for uprooting the reasons of the file.

He hailed also serious discussions during the sessions of the summit, particularly on peace and security in the continent.
