Egypt will set up a logistics zone in Rwanda, after the Rwandan side allocated the necessary land near its border with Tanzania, according to a statement. The move will help facilitate Egyptian companies’ access to the Rwandan market. The announcement came during a meeting between Foreign Minister Badr Abdelatty and his Rwandan counterpart Olivier Nduhungirehe. No information was given over the size of the land that was allocated for the project, or the timeline for its implementation.

And a new MoU was inked: The two sides signed an MoU in the field of transportation, the statement read without elaborating any further.

Remember: The Transport Ministry had been planning to set up a logistics corridor connecting Tanzania and Rwanda in a bid to facilitate the flow of Egyptian exports to Africa. The corridor was set to run from Dar es Salaam port in Tanzania and pass through a logistics zone and dry port, before reaching another logistics zone and dry port in Rwanda.
