Egypt’s Minister of Transport Kamel El-Wazir met with Belarus Ambassador to Egypt Sergei Terentiev in Cairo to discuss joint cooperation across various fields of transport.
The parties discussed issues of developing and improving the legal framework of Belarusian-Egyptian relations. The participants of the meeting considered the possibility of signing bilateral agreements during the upcoming high-level events.
The agreements include developing the workshops of two holding companies by providing them with modern equipment and improving the efficiency, rehabilitation and maintenance of their fleet of trucks.
The cooperation also included discussions on building a factory in Borg El Arab in Alexandria to manufacture cargo trucks in cooperation with Belarusian companies and manufacturing electric buses in Egypt, either through partnerships with local Egyptian companies such as MCV, Kastur, Ghabbour, and others. This can also take place through direct cooperation with the Egyptian Ministry of Transport to establish a joint factory in Borg El Arab Industrial Zone in Alexandria.
The talks also covered the possibility of establishing a grain center in one of the Egyptian ports (east of Port Said, Dekheila, or Jarjoub) to meet the needs of the local market and export to African countries, especially that Egypt is considered a main gateway for exporting products to Africa.
This year marks 30 years of diplomatic relations between Egypt and Belarus. Earlier in July 2023, Terentiev stated that Egypt is the most important trade and economic partner of Belarus in Africa.
