Lusaka - Arab Today
Egypt has played a major role in promoting economic integration among African countries since the era of late president Gamal Abdel Naser, said COMESA Assistant Secretary General for Programs Kipyego Cheluget.
In an interview with MENA correspondent here, Cheluget said that Egypt's membership in the COMESA is crucial for this bloc.
Given its great status in the various spheres, Egypt's role is vital in the COMESA through TRADE AND INVESTMENT, he added.
COMESA also provides a big commercial market for Egypt, he said, adding that Egypt imports tea from Kenya and the latter imports electrical appliances from Egypt.
The increase of trade exchange operations among the COMESA countries will lead to attaining economic integration, he further said.
Egypt voiced keenness on hosting the COMESA summit in 2019 in an official letter sent to the COMESA secretary general, he added.

To 'eternal style' of late Alaia
Paris - Muslimchronicle
Two months after legendary designer Azzedine Alaia's sudden death plunged the fashion world into mourning, an exhibition in homage to the "King of Cling" opened Monday in his studios in Paris. The Tunisian-born designer, renowned for the way his clothes hugged the body, died suddenly in November aged 82, reportedly of heart failure after falling down the stairs at his home. The diminutive maverick, who ignored fashion week convention by showing when and where he wanted, in July produced his first couture collection in six years to rapturous reviews. Now some of his most iconic dresses are going on display in the glass-roofed gallery next to his studio and home in the Marais district where he used to show his creations.
