CAIRO – Egyptian Prime Minister Moustafa Madbouli has witnessed the signing of a memorandum of understanding (MoU) between Egypt and the UAE to cement bilateral petroleum co-operation.

The MoU aims to benefit from the integrated system in Fujairah Oil Industry Zone and apply the same in Al-Hamra Petroleum Port.
The deal is part of the Petroleum Ministry’s strategy to boost Egypt’s role as a regional hub of petroleum and oil products and make the best use of infrastructure and warehouse capacity.
