“We also aim at achieving the economic integration with Africa in cooperation with the international partners to improve Africa’s infrastructure,” Nasr said.
The minister invited Tsegan to participate in “Invest in Africa 2019” conference, that is set to be organised at the New Administrative Capital from 22 to 23 November, under the patronage of President Al-Sisi.
