Minister of International Cooperation Dr Rania el Mashat on Friday discussed with new British Ambassador in Cairo Gareth Bayley joint economic relations between Egypt and the UK in light of national developmental priorities and the joint statement issued by a British-African investment summit in January, 2020 to promote mutual economic cooperation.
The talks were held within the framework of periodic meeting Mashat is having with multilateral and bilateral development partners to boost joint ties.
