Portugal, Egypt to discuss cooperation at Oct 19 business forum in Cairo

The Federation of Egyptian Chambers of Commerce (FEDCOC) is organising next Thursday the second annual Egyptian-Portuguese business forum.

Egyptian Foreign Minister Sameh Shoukry and his Portuguese counterpart Augusto Santos Silva will inaugurate the forum.

A delegation of 25 giant holding firms from Portugal as well as heads of Portuguese financial, trade development, and investment authorities will take part in the forum.

The forum will take place in conjunction with the joint ministerial committee, FEDCOC’s chairman Ahmed El-Wakeel said on Tuesday.

President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi made his first visit to Lisbon in November 2016 aimed at developing relations with Portugal.
