CAIRO, June 29, 2018 (MENA) – Egypt's Minister of Agriculture and Land Reclamation Ezz el Din Abu Steit discussed with his Jordanian counterpart Khalid Hneifat means of bolstering bilateral cooperation in the agricultural field. The meeting, held at the Ministry of Agriculture's headquarters in Cairo, was attended by Jordan's Ambassador to Egypt Ali Ayed and deputy minister of agriculture Mona Mehrez. Abu Steit asserted the depth of Egypt-Jordan relations, affirming the importance that joint cooperation would involve expanding trade exchange of agricultural products and livestock to include vegetables, fruit, fish, poultry and horses.
