The MoU will focus on the environmental and economic aspects of the technology “through the exchange of relevant expertise, knowledge, and information, stimulating market demand and supporting its various applications.”

More education agreements were also inked between the Education Ministry and the Tokyo Metropolitan Government, including one that covered training programs for teachers and support for students with special needs, according to a separate statement from the cabinet. Another agreement was signed to expand technical and applied schools in Egypt — with an emphasis on agri-education — to strengthen Egypt’s workforce with skills attuned to local and international market needs.

The agreements are the latest in a long list of agreements and letters of intent inked between the two sides during Prime Minister Moustafa Madbouly’s visit to Japan, where he also pitched a Japanese industrial zone in Egypt.
