Salah Suleiman Gomaa, Egypt’s Minister of State for Military Production, held talks with a delegation from Oman’s Ministry of Agriculture, the Oman Investment Authority and Al Barakah Green Oman, alongside representatives of Papyrus Egypt, to explore avenues for joint cooperation across several sectors, foremost among them waste management. Gomaa said discussions focused on potential cooperation in areas of mutual interest, particularly integration in waste management, in light of the extensive expertise of the Ministry of Military Production and the ability to utilise surplus production capacities within its affiliated companies. The minister described the complex as a successful model of public-private strategic partnership that supports the state’s sustainable development objectives by converting agricultural waste into value-added, environmentally friendly products. El Sayed stressed the importance of cooperation with the Ministry of Military Production, citing the advanced manufacturing and technological capabilities of its affiliated companies and their skilled human resources. They noted that Oman’s strategic geographic location could position it as a gateway for transferring cardboard production line technology to markets across Asia and Africa.
