Meeting of Egyptian - Algerian works council postponed

The meeting of the first session of the Egyptian - Algerian works council was postponed until March due to developments in the region and the formation of a new government in Algeria.

The first session was to be held on December 28.

During his visit on October 18, Egyptian Minister of Trade Ahmed El-Goweili agreed with his Algerian counterpart on the necessity of upgrading trade exchange between the two countries and attracting more investments.

The head of the exhibitions and international markets department, Mohammed Saiid Salem, said that an annual fair for Egyptian products in Algeria was established after the participation of Egypt in the Algerian International Fair for the first time in several years.

The volume of trade between the two countries does not exceed $27 million annually.
