Mexico to launch major trade mission to Egypt by late-September

Major Mexican companies will be paying a visit to Egypt by the end of next September to explore investment opportunities, Egyptian trade minister Tarek Qabil announced Wednesday.

The trade mission will include Mexican companies listed in the The Arab Mexican Chamber of Industry and Commerce (CAMIC), which are willing to know more about investment opportunities in the Egyptian market, Qabil said.

Intra-trade between Egypt and Mexico stood at around $82 million in 2015, including $32.5 million worth of Egyptian exports to Mexico.
