Boosting bilateral relations in the fields of maritime transportation, shipbuilding, agriculture, and information technology was discussed in the meeting between both leaders, as well as developing public communication between people in both countries.
During his last visit, President Abdel Fattah Al-Sisi called on investors and Vietnamese industrialists to invest in Egypt in all fields, citing a number of mega-projects with high returns and diversified investment opportunities, foremost of which is the development of the Suez Canal region. This includes the establishment of large industrial and logistical areas, which provides promising opportunities for Vietnamese companies wishing to benefit from Egypt’s strategic location as a production centre.
It marked the first visit of the Egyptian President to Vietnam, and both leaders agreed to celebrate this year’s 55th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between both countries.
