Lee is scheduled to meet with Egyptian President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi, and the two leaders are expected to discuss expanding trade and cultural cooperation as the two countries mark 30 years of diplomatic relations.
Lee will then deliver a speech at Cairo University, where he will outline South Korea's policy and vision for the Middle Eastern country. With the growing popularity of South Korean dramas and films among young Egyptians, cultural exchange is also likely to be included among the topics of discussion.
After meeting with South Korean expatriates there, he will head to Johannesburg to attend the Group of 20 (G20) summit, which will be held in South Africa this weekend.
