A delegation of prominent Italian firms will be visiting Egypt by the end of January, 2016, Egyptian minister of trade Tarek Qabil announced Thursday.
The delegation will be headed by the Federica Guidi – Italy’s Minister for Economic Development.
The Egyptian minister’s remarks were made during his meeting with Marcello Sala, Co-President of the Italian-Egyptian Business Council.
The two parities discussed methods to maximise the role played by the Italian-Egyptian Business Council in boosting investment and trade ties between Rome and Cairo in the coming phase.
Italy is a key EU trade partner for Egypt, minister Qabel said, referring to multiple potential opportunities to promote bilateral cooperation in a number of key sectors in Egypt, notably the car assembly industry.
