SOCHI, Russia, Oct 23 (MENA) - President Abdel Fattah El Sisi and his Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin attended a working luncheon with heads of African trade blocs on the sidelines of their co-chairmanship of the Russia-Africa economic forum meetings which began on Wednesday.

The participants tackled ways to enhance economic cooperation between Russia and Africa and the continent's business environment.

African leaders have launched an African free trade zone during the extraordinary African summit held in Niger in July this year, the largest since the establishment of the World Trade Organization in 1995.
