Minister of Trade and Industry Tarek Kabil said that a delegation of 17 major

Greek companies, with the Greek deputy foreign minister, will visit Cairo early

next month to look into investment opportunities in the Egyptian market,

especially in the Suez Canal Economic Zone (SCZone). He noted that during

the visit, a business forum will be held and will include Egyptian and Greek

businessmen. It will aim to review the available investment opportunities in

the Egyptian market and the possibility for joint projects between the two

countries in different fields.

Kabil added that the recent visit by President Abdel Fattah Al-Sisi to Athens has

paved the way for a new phase of economic relations between

the two countries, noting that the Egyptian market has promising investment

opportunities that suit investment trends of the Greek capital.
