Good afternoon, friends, and happy hump day.<\/strong> As the weather continues to heat up, it seems the news cycle is starting to cool down. <\/p>\n

THE BIG STORY TODAY-<\/p>\n

? President Abdel Fattah El Sisi <\/strong>has touched down in Brussels, <\/strong>Belgium<\/strong>, ahead of the first-ever Egyptian-EU Summit taking place tomorrow. The president will be joined by European Council President Ant\u00f3nio Costa and European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen to discuss strengthening political and economic ties under the EU-Egypt Strategic and Comprehensive Partnership.<\/p>\n

The inaugural summit follows a <\/strong>strategic partnership track<\/a><\/strong> launched in Cairo in March <\/strong>2024.<\/strong> \u201cThe president's visit aims to solidify the frameworks for cooperation and political coordination with the European side [...] regarding regional and international issues of mutual concern,\u201d according to an Ittihadeya statement<\/a>. El Sisi is also set to hold a series of meetings on the sidelines of the visit with several senior EU officials and European leaders, including King Philippe of Belgium. An economic forum centered around investment avenues in Egypt will also be held on the summit\u2019s sidelines. <\/p>\n

ICYMI-<\/strong> Last year, the EU pledged<\/a> a EUR 7.4 bn package of loans, grants, and investments through to 2027. The package included a EUR 1.8 bn investment protection mechanism, EUR 5 bn in concessional loans to provide macro-financial assistance, and EUR 600 mn in grants.<\/p>\n

THE BIG STORY ABROAD-<\/p>\n

? It\u2019s<\/strong> a busy afternoon in the global press, with several world leaders \u2014 new <\/strong>and old \u2014 under the spotlight<\/strong>. <\/p>\n

Getting top billing today is Sanae Takaichi\u2019s victory lap<\/strong>, having just become Japan\u2019s first-ever female prime minister after securing a historic parliamentary vote. Takaichi \u2014 known as Japan\u2019s Iron Lady \u2014 is the country\u2019s fourth leader in five years. The hardline conservative politician is expected to be sworn in as Japan\u2019s 104th prime minister later today. <\/p>\n

Stocks hit a record high early today following Takaichi\u2019s victory<\/strong>, with the Nikkei index surging 1.5% to ~50k points, up 26% y-o-y. The index has since lost its gains, with the JPY weakening 0.3% against the USD, signalling investor concerns over the new prime minister\u2019s monetary policies. The Nikkei index rose just 0.2% at today\u2019s close<\/a> at 49.3k points. Takaichi, a stalwart conservative, is former Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe\u2019s prot\u00e9g\u00e9, sharing his political views on higher government spending and interest rate cuts in what has come to be known as Abenomics. (BBC<\/a> | CNN<\/a> | CNBC<\/a> | Reuters<\/a> | Bloomberg<\/a> | Financial Times<\/a>)<\/p>\n

MEANWHILE- Former French President Nicolas Sarkozy has begun his five-year <\/strong>prison sentence at Paris\u2019 La Sant\u00e9 Prison<\/strong>, becoming the first French president to go to jail. Sarkozy was sentenced for conspiring to fund his election campaign using money from ex-Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi. The ex-president has appealed his sentence. \u201cIt is not a former president of the republic being incarcerated this morning, it is an innocent man,\u201d the former president said on<\/a>X<\/a> this morning. \u201cThe truth will triumph, but the price will have been crushing,\u201d he added. <\/p>\n

CLOSER TO HOME- US Vice President JD Vance <\/strong>has landed in Israel<\/strong> to \u201censure the ceasefire holds and to discuss the further implementation of the US brokered plan,\u201d The Guardian reports. Vance\u2019s visit is set to last until Thursday, 30 October, and follows<\/a> Israeli airstrikes on Sunday, which killed 26 Palestinians, and the subsequent reinstatement of the ceasefire. (New York Times<\/a> | Guardian<\/a> | France 24<\/a>)<\/p>\n
