Supply and Internal Trade Minister Khaled Hanafy met separately with the head of UAE-based Al Ghurair Investment Company and Singaporean Senior Minister of State (SMS) for Foreign Affairs and Home Affairs Masagos Zulkifli.
The two meetings, held on the sidelines of Egypt Economic Development Conference (EEDC), tackled the Supply Ministry's projects which involve a global logistics center for handling and storing grain and food commodities and the commercial and shopping area project.
Great economic, social and national returns will be gained from those two projects, said the minister, specifying that those plans will let Egypt become a global logistics hub.
They will allow for Egypt to secure its local food consumption and for other countries in the region, he added.
