Minister of Investment and Foreign Trade, Hassan El-Khatib, is set to meet with senior Spanish officials and business leaders in Madrid to enhance economic relations between Egypt and Spain. The discussions will revolve around boosting trade and investment, with a focus on Egypt's market advantages and economic policies. Key topics include bilateral trade, joint investments, and efforts to improve financial policies to attract foreign investments into Egypt. The visit will involve engagements with Spanish companies across various sectors such as energy, hotels, ready-made garments, and hydrogen. Notably, a $1 million financing agreement has been signed for a feasibility study to extend Cairo Metro's Line 1, supporting urban transportation improvements. The study, led by Spanish company Typsa, aims to assess a 19-kilometer extension as part of Egypt's broader climate change initiative, focusing on water, food, energy, and sustainable transportation projects.
