Sponsoring and participating in this landmark event is in keeping with Qalaa Holdings’ fundamental belief in the prominence of Africa and in furtherance of the private sector’s pivotal role in fostering stronger ties between Egypt and its continental partners. Furthermore, the company views the forum as a crucial endeavor in promoting greater investments in the continent.

Commenting on the event, foreign minister Shoukry affirmed the depth and strength of Egyptian-Kenyan bilateral relations, and highlighted the significance of the Kenyan Egyptian Joint Committee in both strengthening existing ties between the two countries and in expanding the benefits of both countries’ memberships in the Common Market for Eastern and Southern Africa (COMESA).
