The volume of trade exchange between Egypt and Argentina registered around $1.792 billion during 2016, said Egypt’s Industry and Trade Minister Tarek Qabil on Wednesday. The $1.792 billion included Egyptian exports of $8 million.
“The trade deficit between the two countries reached $1.784 billion, balanced for Argentina,” Qabil further stated.
The Egyptian minister made his remarks during a meeting with Argentine Vice President Marta Gabriela Michetti, on the sidelines of 11th Ministerial Conference of the World Trade Organisation (WTO), which takes place from 11-14 December 2017 in Buenos Aires in Argentina.
