We are excited to share highlights from the recent Egypt-France Business Forum, held in Paris on 30 September and 1 October, where the French Chamber of Commerce and Industry in Egypt (CCIFE) played a pivotal role. As one of the major French-Egyptian commercial and investment entities, CCIFE seized this opportunity to further promote economic relations between our two countries.

The forum was graced by the presence of key dignitaries, including Deputy Prime Minister for Human Development and Minister of Health and Population H.E. Dr. Khaled Abdel Ghaffar, French Minister of Foreign Trade H.E. Sophie Primaux, H.E. Eng. Hassan El-Khatib, Minister of Investment and Foreign Trade, and Head of the General Authority for Investment and Free Zones Mr. Hossam Heiba. Their participation underscored the commitment to fostering bilateral trade and investment, alongside a significant number of officials and representatives from the business communities of both nations.

CCIFE President Emad EL SONBATY, Treasurer Marawan EL SAMMAK, and Managing Director Karim WISSA were actively engaged at the forum, as were board members Halim ASSEM and Mohamed MAHLAB, emphasizing our dedication to facilitating trade, which remains a top priority for us. We believe that enhancing these ties will lead to mutual growth and prosperity.

Additionally, we are pleased to announce that several Memorandums of Understanding (MoUs) were signed during the event. The CCIFE is making itself available to the relevant Egyptian ministries to help facilitate the effective implementation of these agreements, further solidifying our collaborative efforts.

We would like to thank the organizers of this event in Paris and Marseille, especially Mr. Romain GUIZARD, Country Director of Business France, and his deputy, Hana EL-GOHARY. We also extend our gratitude to Mr. Pascal FURTH, Chef of the economic service to the French Embassy in Cairo, for his support and participation, as well as to the French foreign trade advisors and the Egyptian-French Business Council.

We look forward to building on the momentum from this forum and continuing to strengthen the economic partnership between Egypt and France.
