Subject: President of Egypt

... is willing to come to CGI and very much appreciates WJC's invitation but noticed that we gave remarks to his Muslim Brotherhood predecessor President Morsi in 2012 and would appreciate similar accommodation. As you know Sisi is a vital and enormously important leader in the region and for the U.S.  Shall we add him to the Opening or Closing?
Would be pretty powerful - and crush media cynicism about cgi - if we could do an Opening with WJC and leaders of Egypt, Mexico, Ukraine, and Norway. Covers us geographically and also each of these countries/region is important. Welcome your thoughts. Need to get back to Egyptians with ideas this weekend. If you guys are opposed to Opening for Sisi, please suggest something similarly grand with WJC. Thank you.
