BRUSSELS/CAIRO, Jan 20 (MENA) - Minister of Foreign Affairs, Emigration and Egyptian Expatriates Badr Abdelatty discussed with the general manager of John Cockerill measures taken by the Egyptian government to create an attractive investment climate in Egypt and efforts to support the private sector's role in the national economy.

During the meeting, which was held Monday in Brussels, Abdelatty urged the Belgian company to increase its investments in the Egyptian market in order to benefit from the investment incentives and competitive advantages offered by Egypt.

He further shed light on the government's relentless efforts to lure more investments by foreign companies operating in the spheres of clean energy and green hydrogen production, expressing the government's interest in supporting the export-oriented green energy industrial project in Jarjoub sea port.

The minister also referred to the advantages offered by the Suez Canal Economic Zone to European investors, and the possibility of benefiting from free trade agreements signed by Egypt to access the African continent and its markets. (MENA)
