The Minister of Foreign Trade, Industry and Investment Mounir Fakhry Abdel Nour said that the visit aims at achieving concrete results and a joint action plan to activate the strategic partnership between the two countries. The minister added that a number of trade agreements will be signed based on the results reached during the meeting.
