EGYPTIAN oil companies are keen on bolstering co-operation with all countries now that they have gained substantial expertise and excellent reputation, Minister of Oil Sameh Fahmi said in Cairo yesterday after talks with a visiting US delegation representing North Western University. Fahmi told the team, which included teachers and students from Kellogg School of Management, that Egypt had designed plans for ensuring its future energy security, which is a corner stone for national development. Egypt is keen on seeking more ventures with all international firms based on mutual benefit for both sides through implementing joint investment and development projects in oil and natural gas, Fahmi said.
