Thirty-three Indian companies will be taking part in the third session of the Indian Textiles & Clothing Exhibition (INTEXPO) Egypt, which will be held as part of the Cairo Fashion and Tex fair to be held at the Cairo International Conferences Center on October 1-4.

INTEXPO Egypt aims at boosting cooperation between Indian and Egyptian companies, a statement by the Indian Embassy here said Friday.

This comes at a time the textile industry in both countries is booming.

Indian textile exports to Egypt amounted to 360 million dollars in 2014-2015.
