Egyptian Minister of International Co-operation Rania Al-Mashat signed on Tuesday an economic co-operation agreement with the Polish side during the Egyptian-Polish Joint Committee for Economic, Scientific and Technical Co-operation to enhance joint economic relations between both countries.
Mashat said that the Egyptian-Polish Joint Committee for Economic, Scientific and Technical Co-operation paves the way for more joint co-operation in areas of joint development; the first held after 29 years, the Ministry of International Co-operation said in a press release.
This is within the framework of the great development of Egyptian-Polish relations under the leadership of President Abdel Fattah El Sisi, reflecting the strength of bilateral relations between both countries.
Mashat explained that the new economic co-operation agreement signed between Egypt and Poland replaces the economic co-operation agreement signed in 1964 with 12 sessions of the joint committee. The last committee was held in 1993 in Cairo, keeping pace with economic developments.
She added that the new agreement consolidates a new phase of relations between both countries, which will be carried out through joint action in different areas of development and economic co-operation.
The Ministry of International Co-operation will work in coordination with the Polish side to hold meetings within the first session of the joint committee under the umbrella of the new agreement.
Egyptian-Polish relations date back to the beginning of the 20th century, and in the past 90 years, the joint relations between both countries have grown significantly, at all levels; witnessing new stages when Poland joined the European Union in 2004.
