Egypt’s Nassar, UK’s Donaldson, Adams discuss post-Brexit cooperation

Post-Brexit trade between Egypt and the UK kicks into gear: Trade and Industry Minister Amr Nassar discussed post-Brexit economic cooperationwith UK trade envoy Sir Jeffrey Donaldson and UK ambassador to Egypt Sir Geoffrey Adams, according to a ministry statement (pdf). The post-Brexit era will focus on joint projects in manufacturing, education, vocational training, and healthcare in eastern and western African countries. We had heard last month that the two countries are in early talks to seal a post-Brexit trade agreement. UK’s Trade Commissioner for Africa Emma Wade-Smith is arriving today, presumably to take part in the talks.
