Egyptian delegation visits Iraq

An Egyptian industrial delegation under the chairmanship of Minister of Industry Soleiman Reda started a visit to Iraq aimed at supporting joint industrial cooperation.

Egypt holds the fifth position on the list of countries exporting medicine and foodstuffs to Iraq in the oil-for-food agreement with the United Nations. Egyptian exports to Iraq in the last 3 years are estimated at $650 million.

Reda added that the delegation he heads, which represents 40 Egyptian industrial companies, will attend an industrial meeting at the Baghdad International Fair, which includes Egyptian and Iraqi industrialists, to discuss aspects of cooperation between the two states in all fields.
