The minister stressed the importance of expanding trade and economic co‑operation and making greater use of the capabilities of both countries, as well as the expertise of Egyptian companies operating across a range of sectors.
Abdelatty also praised the close co‑ordination between Egypt and Mauritania on regional and international issues, particularly Arab and African affairs and shared development priorities.
The two ministers agreed to intensify co‑ordination and co‑operation within international forums in support of their development objectives and ongoing efforts to preserve security and stability in the region.
