Some of the invited include political analyst Abdallah El-Sennawy, former head of the Journalists Syndicate Diaa Rashwan, arts critic Gaber Assfour, novelist Youssef El-Kaaed, and screenwriter Waheed Hamed.

The meeting will present a platform for the group to discuss their grievances with the president, while al-Sisi will outline the state’s recent development efforts.

al-Sisi met twice before with a group of writers and intellectuals, once during his presidential campaign in May 2014 and again in December 2014.
