French President Emmanuel Macron continued his trademark "diplomacy by cardio" during his official visit to Egypt, jogging through the bustling streets of Alexandria on Sunday morning.
Dressed in sportswear, Macron ran along Khaled Ibn Al-Walid Street toward the Corniche in the Sidi Bishr area, accompanied by a small security detail without major road closures. Locals reacted with surprise and excitement as normal traffic and pedestrians continued around him.
This follows a similar jog in Yerevan, Armenia. Observers joked that Macron’s Africa tour blends high-level diplomacy with personal fitness — proving world leaders are embracing the “fitness era.” Trump, notably, remains “unaccounted for.”
