Egypt, Kuwait keen on promoting economic cooperation

Kuwait Chamber of Commerce and Industry (KCCI) Chairman Ali Thunayan Al-Ghanim has stressed that the chamber is keen on cementing and promoting economic cooperation with Egypt, especially after President Abdel Fattah El Sisi's visit to the country last month, KUNA reported.
While receiving South Sinai Governor Khaled Fouda and his accompanying delegation here on Wednesday, Al-Ghanim commended the solid brotherly relations between the two countries.
Al-Ghanim referred to Egyptian Prime Minister Ibrahim Mahlab's remarks during his visit to Kuwait this month that Cairo will witness a new period after issuing several laws aiming at luring foreign investments.
Al-Ghanim hopes that an international economic conference in Egypt slated for March would be a new launch for encouraging and developing common economic ties.
On his part, Fouda emphasized that South Sinai Governorate enjoys several potentials that would attract foreign investors especially in the fields of tourism, gas and oil.
