Egyptian Foreign Minister Badr Abdelatty on Sunday urged the country’s private sector to form strategic alliances and consortia to enhance their competitiveness and expand Egypt’s economic presence across the African continent. This effort involves removing procedural and regulatory obstacles and opening channels of communication with relevant authorities to facilitate the entry of Egyptian companies into African markets. The meeting included an exchange of views on how to maximise economic opportunities and mechanisms to enhance private sector participation in investment projects. Participants discussed the importance of integrating diplomatic movements with economic efforts by intensifying the participation of private sector representatives in foreign visits and economic missions. This coordination is intended to bolster the access of Egyptian companies to African markets and establish long-term partnerships that serve shared interests.
