"A number of countries are already present in [the Suez Canal Economic Zone in Egypt] and are developing their areas. The area is conveniently located near the seaport of Ain Sokhna, as well as in relation to railways and roads," Alexey Overchuk said.
On Sunday, a Russian delegation led by Overchuk arrived in Cairo. The delegation included Russian entrepreneurs and representatives of business associations interested in working in the Russian industrial zone.
The visit to the Egyptian economic zone will allow for a collaborative assessment of its advantages, the Russian deputy prime minister said.
The Egyptians will present the benefits for zone residents, including:
working conditions,
infrastructure readiness,
investment incentives.
Overchuk emphasized that this firsthand evaluation would be crucial for businesses to assess their capabilities and integrate the zone into th investment plans.
