Egypt and Qatar share common views as regards the importance of increasing the benefits of the industrial and commercial potentials between the two countries, Samir said.
He said that the visit of President Abdel Fattah El Sisi to Qatar last week in addition to the visit of Qatari Emir Tamim bin Hamad al Thani to Cairo in June contributed to turning over a new leaf in the Egyptian-Qatari relations.
