Malaysian investments in Egypt’s oil and gas sector are currently worth around $9 billion, said Malaysia’s ambassador to Cairo, Mohamed Abd Rahman on Wednesday.
Abd Rahman made his remarks during the visit of the first Malaysian economic delegation to Egypt in more than 8 years. The delegation attended the Malaysian-Egyptian Business Forum in Cairo.
