Egypt and the EU are in talks to set up a joint business forum that would bring together business leaders from the two countries and increase investment, the Trade and Industry Ministry said Sunday. The proposal was discussed during a meeting between Minister Ahmed Samir and EU’s envoy to Cairo Christian Berger.

Egypt and South Korea agreed to exchange knowledge, tech and technical support to improve Egypt’s public procurement system. The move is part of the Finance Ministry’s push to digitize its operations and localize tech to boost the efficiency of its governance and administration, the Finance Ministry said Friday.
