entertainment areas.

The company will pay the first installment of 5% of the land in the first quarter of 2018 and after that, the company will begin construction.
He revealed that automotive and textile companies are negotiating with the Suez Canal Authority to launch new plants in the axis. The initial investments of textile industries is about $1bn.
On 25 October, Sino-Egypt Minkai was looking to set up a 2m sqm textile industrial complex at an investment value of ¥5bn (approximately $753m).
Bing said that the infrastructure of the of 6 sqkm project in the Suez Canal zone's first phase is 2 sqkm and has been completed. The second phase is now in a preparation phase to attract investments to it during the coming period.
In a related context, Bing added that a number of Chinese companies working in the field of transport have submitted bids to the Ministry of Transport to participate in the project of establishing the Ain Sokhna-Alamein railway line.
Bing noted that both countries are working on removing barriers that hinder the currency swap agreement to deal with local currencies in Egypt and China.
"However, we do not have problems to deal with the Egyptian pound in China in the case that Chinese companies want to deal with it," Bing pointed out. "Commercial banks in both countries begin discussing the deal with the local currency of both countries."
