Environment min.: We seek to provide investment opportunities in waste recycling

Environment Minister Yasmine Fouad said her ministry seeks in the coming period to provide investment opportunities in waste recycling, which has become a source of livelihood for many young people.

Fouad’s remarks came during her participation on Friday in the inauguration of the “Diarna” exhibition for handicrafts, in the presence of the ministers of social solidarity, supply, local development, education, public business sector and civil aviation, as well as the EU ambassador in Cairo and the chairman of the international banking group Intesa Sanpaolo.

The environment minister inspected her ministry’s pavilion at the exhibition, which gives space to local communities and civil society organizations from 20 governorates to showcase their handmade works.
